President's Trophy Grade-II Gold 2026-27 semi-finals began on 10 October: Eshaal v Vital Tea and Income Tax v Kingsmen. See both group tables and live scores.
Short answer: The President's Trophy Grade-II Gold 2026-27 semi-finals began on Saturday 10 October. Eshaal Associates play Vital Tea, and Income Tax play Kingsmen Sports. Vital Tea and Kingsmen Sports topped their groups with 24 points each. The tournament is listed to end on 14 October.
The Grade-II Gold is one of the President's Trophy events listed on the PCB domestic series page, below the Grade-I event we track in our President's Trophy Grade-I fixtures and points table. Ten teams play in two groups of five, and the top two from each group go to the semi-finals.
We read the tournament's pages on the PCB match centre on the evening of 11 October 2026: the point table, the match list and the leaders. The PCB has not published a news release for the Grade-II Gold league stage that we could find, so the match centre is the only official source for the numbers below.
Four teams reached the semi-finals from two groups of five
Vital Tea and Income Tax came through Group A. Kingsmen Sports and Eshaal Associates came through Group B. Each team played the other four in its group once, so every side finished with four league matches.
| Group | Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Vital Tea | 4 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 24 |
| A | Income Tax | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 21 |
| A | PHA Rawalpindi | 4 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 15 |
| A | Port Qasim | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 9 |
| A | Railways | 4 | 0 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
| B | Kingsmen Sports | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 24 |
| B | Eshaal Associates | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 19 |
| B | NBP | 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 12 |
| B | JDW | 4 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 9 |
| B | Haider Cricket Club | 4 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
The match centre does not explain how it awards these points. PHA Rawalpindi have the same record as Income Tax, two wins, one loss and one draw, but 6 fewer points. We have not seen the Grade-II playing conditions, so we do not state the points system.

The match centre shows Eshaal on 419 for 9 and Income Tax on 155 for 9
When we read the match list on the evening of 11 October, both semi-finals were still marked live with the "Stumps (End of Day)" status. These are the scores shown, and they will have moved on.

- Income Tax 155 for 9 in 67 overs, with Kingsmen Sports yet to bat.
A score on this page is a snapshot, not a result. Multi-day matches can swing, and draws are common in this competition: the group tables show 6 drawn matches out of 20 in the league stage.
Three of the four semi-finalists did not lose a league match
Vital Tea are the only side with three wins and no defeat. On 5 October they made 469 for 9 against Railways, who replied with 197 and 297, and then needed only 28 for 3 in 4.2 overs to win by 7 wickets.
Kingsmen Sports are also unbeaten, with two wins and two draws. On 5 October they beat Haider Cricket Club by 7 wickets after bowling them out for 169 and 101. Eshaal Associates drew with NBP the same day after making 415 for 8 declared in their second innings.

| 5 October | Income Tax v Port Qasim | Income Tax won by 53 runs |
| 5 October | Haider Cricket Club v Kingsmen Sports | Kingsmen won by 7 wickets |

The batting and bowling leaders come from the league stage
Usman Khan leads the batters with 606 runs, followed by Imran Butt with 546 and Najab Khan with 467. Jawad Ali leads the bowlers with 29 wickets, then Afnan Khan with 21 and Junaid Ahmad with 18.
The best single score listed is 202 by U Khan of Eshaal Associates. The page's team-score box shows a highest total of 297, which is lower than the 469 for 9 listed above, so the summary box appears to lag behind the match list. We have used the match list wherever the two differ.
