KRL Beat PTV by Six Wickets in President's Trophy Grade-I Round 6

KRL beat Pakistan Television (PTV) by six wickets on Wednesday 14 October 2026, on day 3 of round 6 of the President's Trophy Grade-I at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. KRL chased 224 and reached 227 for 4 in 41.4 overs. Iftikhar Ahmed made 76 not out and Imran Rafiq 50 not out.

The result ended a match that PTV led for most of two days. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) report says KRL were bowled out for 129 in their first innings, 91 behind. They then bowled PTV out for 132 and made the runs in under 42 overs. We read the PCB match report and its scores in brief on the evening of 14 October 2026.

KRL chased 224 in 41.4 overs and won by six wickets

KRL needed 224 to win and scored 227 for 4 in 41.4 overs. Iftikhar Ahmed hit 76 not out off 82 balls and Imran Rafiq added 50 not out. Asim Ali Nasir made 47. PTV's bowlers Kashif Ali and Khalil Ahmed took two wickets each.

The chase was quick because the pitch had settled and PTV's total was small. PTV had resumed on 44 for 2, already 135 ahead, and added only 88 more runs. That left KRL a target of 224, which they reached at about 5.5 runs an over. In a four-day match overs are not capped, so the batters could have taken far longer. They finished early because the lead was small and the wicket was easy to bat on.

Saqib Khan's 5 for 37 bowled PTV out for 132

Saqib Khan took five wickets for 37 runs on the third morning. PTV started the day on 44 for 2 with a 135 run lead and were all out for 132 in 38.1 overs, which made the lead 223. Abbas Ali's 38 was their top score.

That spell decided the match. A lead of 135 with eight wickets in hand is a comfortable position in a four-day game. A lead of 223 is still a fair target, but KRL's batters had already shown in the first innings that they could fail. This time they did not. Ahmed Bashir had taken four wickets for 59 in the PTV first innings, and Arshad Iqbal and Daniyal Ali Khan took five more between them. The KRL attack kept PTV from setting a larger total than 224 to chase.

Israr Hussain's 5 for 56 had put PTV ahead on day 2

PTV's lead came from Israr Hussain, who took five wickets for 56 as KRL fell for 129 in reply to 220. The PCB reported that on the second day his spell put PTV in a commanding position. Day 3 reversed it.

The two innings tell a simple story. PTV scored 220 and 132. KRL scored 129 and 227 for 4. Each side had one bowler take five wickets in an innings, so the second-innings batting made the difference.

MIT Solutions lead State Bank of Pakistan by 130 runs with a day to play

At the Diamond Cricket Ground in Islamabad, MIT Solutions lead State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) by 130 runs after day 3. MIT made 376 and SBP replied with 344. MIT were 98 for 3 in 29 overs at the close, with Hasnain Nadeem on 33 and Atiq-ur-Rehman on 30.

SBP resumed on 138 for 4 and recovered to 344 all out in 97.3 overs. Rameez Aziz made 84 off 137 balls, with 11 fours and a six. Ali Shan stayed not out on 59. Abdullah Fazal made 58 and Sardar Hassan Raza Khan 51. MIT's Khalid Usman, who had taken three wickets on day 2, ended with 5 for 70. He also made 41 with the bat in the first innings.

MIT's first-innings lead was cut from 376 to 32. The lead of 130 after three wickets fell leaves MIT with seven wickets for one more day. Whether the match ends in a result depends on how fast MIT score on the fourth day. We do not give a points count here because the PCB's report does not list the points table for round 6 yet.
