President's Trophy Grade-I Round 5 Results: PTV and MIT Solutions Win First Games
President's Trophy Grade-I round 5 results: PTV beat Ghani by 10 wickets, MIT Solutions beat OGDCL by 75 runs, two draws. Scores, top players and round 6 dates.
Pakistan Television (PTV) and MIT Solutions won their first matches of the season in round 5 of the President's Trophy Grade-I, which ended on Friday 9 October 2026. PTV beat Ghani by 10 wickets in Abbottabad. MIT Solutions beat OGDCL by 75 runs in Rawalpindi a day earlier. The other two games, KRL against SBP and SNGPL against Kingsmen Academy, were drawn.
We read all four official PCB scorecards on Friday evening, after the last ball of the round, along with PCB's day 3 match report and its fixture list for the rest of the season. Two teams that had not won in four rounds finally got off the mark, and that changes the bottom of the table more than the top.
The President's Trophy Grade-I is Pakistan's four-day first-class event for departments and sponsored sides. Eight teams play seven rounds, and the top two meet in a final from 24 October.
Two wins and two draws in round 5 of the President's Trophy
Round 5 ran from 6 to 9 October 2026 across Abbottabad, Peshawar, Islamabad and Rawalpindi. PTV and MIT Solutions both won. KRL against SBP in Peshawar and SNGPL against Kingsmen Academy in Islamabad ended in draws.

PCB said on 6 October that rain and wet outfields hit the first day, with three of the four games affected. That lost time is the main reason two of the four matches could not produce a result.
PTV beat Ghani by 10 wickets in Abbottabad
PTV won by 10 wickets after bowling Ghani out for 102 on the first day and then scoring 428. Ghani fought back in the second innings with 337, but that left PTV only 12 to win, and they got there in three overs.
Haris Rauf was the standout bowler. He took 4 for 45 in the first innings and 4 for 91 in the second, so eight wickets in the match. Kashif Ali took 5 for 60 in the second innings after 3 for 41 in the first.
With the bat, Mohammad Ammar made 124, with 16 fours and two sixes. Taimur Khan added 97 and Yasir Khan 71. For Ghani, Hussain Talat scored 108 in the second innings and captain Mohsin Riaz batted 238 balls for 76. Their 192-run stand for the fourth wicket held PTV up for most of Friday, and then Ghani lost six wickets for 40 runs.
This was PTV's first win of the season. After round 4, PCB listed PTV, KRL, SNGPL and MIT Solutions as the four teams without a win.
Khalid Usman took 10 wickets as MIT Solutions beat OGDCL
MIT Solutions beat OGDCL by 75 runs on day 3, Thursday 8 October, at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. Khalid Usman took 10 for 62 in the match, including 6 for 23 in the first innings.
Hasnain Nadeem made 121 and 55 for MIT Solutions, 176 runs across the two innings. Chasing 221, OGDCL were bowled out for 145. Saad Khan scored 96 with 15 fours, but nobody stayed with him. Khalid and Mohammad Ismail took four wickets each in the second innings.
KRL and SBP drew in Peshawar after SBP were bowled out for 56
KRL against SBP ended in a draw, even though SBP were bowled out for 56 in their first innings. KRL scored 144 and 257 for 4, which set SBP a target of 346. SBP batted out the last day on 136 for 5.
Arshad Iqbal took 4 for 24 and Faheem Ashraf 3 for 14 when SBP collapsed. For SBP, Shahid Aziz had earlier taken 5 for 41. In KRL's second innings, Mohammad Faiq hit 98 off 77 balls, two short of a century. Faham-ul-Haq's 52 off 136 balls helped SBP save the game.
Mohammad Suleman hit 125 as SNGPL and Kingsmen drew
SNGPL and Kingsmen Academy drew in Islamabad. Kingsmen made 217 and then 440 in their second innings, with Mohammad Suleman scoring 125 and wicketkeeper Mohammad Shayan 75. SNGPL had made 234 in reply to the first innings and were 15 for 0 when the match ended.
Shahnawaz Dahani took 5 for 61 in Kingsmen's first innings. Sameer Minhas took 4 for 57 in the second. Shan Masood scored 83 and Azan Awais 62 for SNGPL, and Mir Hamza took 4 for 49.
SBP led the table with 72 points before round 5
PCB's points table, as it stood when we checked on Friday evening, still showed the position after four rounds. SBP had 72 points, Ghani 66 and Kingsmen Academy 56. PCB had not yet added the round 5 points, so we have not worked out a new table ourselves.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| State Bank of Pakistan | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 72 |
| Ghani | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 66 |
| Kingsmen Academy | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 56 |
| OGDCL | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 45 |
| KRL | 4 | 0 | 0 | 4 | 42 |
| PTV | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 36 |
| SNGPL | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 35 |
| MIT Solutions | 4 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 34 |
Ghani's heavy defeat is the result to watch. They were second, six points behind SBP, and they meet Kingsmen Academy, the third-placed side, in the next round.

One detail does not match. PCB's report of 3 October said all remaining matches at National Ground Islamabad had moved to Shoaib Akhtar Stadium in Rawalpindi. The fixture list still shows National Ground for two later games. Check the PCB scorecard page on the morning of a match if you plan to go.
Several Test and white-ball players are in this competition, including Shan Masood, Saud Shakeel, Salman Ali Agha and Haris Rauf. Others are away with the national side for the T20Is, since the Pakistan T20I squad for the Sri Lanka series is in Rawalpindi this week. The Quaid-e-Azam Trophy for regional teams follows later in the season.
