Grade-II Silver is one of three President's Trophy events on the PCB's men's domestic series page. The others are the Grade-II Gold semi-finals and the Grade-I event in our President's Trophy Grade-I fixtures and points table.
We read the tournament's overview, point table and match list on the PCB match centre on the evening of 11 October 2026. We found no PCB news release for this event, so the match centre is our only official source and every figure below comes from it.
Six teams played five league matches each
Silver is a single league of six teams. Every team played the other five once, and the top four went to the semi-finals. Sports Board Punjab lost all five matches and finished last with no points.
| Team | Played | Won | Lost | Drawn | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SASA Packaging | 5 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 39 |
| University of Central Punjab | 5 | 3 | 0 | 2 | 28 |
| University of Punjab | 5 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 28 |
| Service Industries | 5 | 2 | 3 | 0 | 18 |
| ZM Electronics | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 6 |
| Sports Board Punjab | 5 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
The match centre does not explain how it awards points, and we have not seen the playing conditions for this event, so we do not state the system. University of Central Punjab and University of Punjab are level on 28 points, and the match centre lists UCP second.
SASA Packaging play University of Punjab, and UCP play Service Industries
The match centre lists semi-final 1 as match 16, SASA Packaging against University of Punjab, and semi-final 2 as match 17, University of Central Punjab against Service Industries. Both started at 10:00 am on Saturday 10 October, and both are listed at 75 overs.
The semi-final table has the same four teams in the order SASA Packaging, University of Punjab, University of Central Punjab and Service Industries. We have not seen a rule that explains this seeding, so we only report the pairings as listed.
The scores on the match centre show SASA ahead and UCP well ahead
When we read the match list, both semi-finals showed the "Stumps (End of Day)" status. These are the numbers printed beside each team, and they will have moved on since.
- SASA Packaging 249 all out in 65.3 overs. University of Punjab 150 all out in 52.1 overs. SASA Packaging then showed 186 for 2 in 45 overs, with University of Punjab marked "yet to bat" in its second innings.
- University of Central Punjab 246 all out in 68.3 overs. Service Industries 127 all out in 42 overs. UCP then showed 58 all out in 23.5 overs, and Service Industries 1 for 0 in 1 over.
In the second match, those figures read as a chase. UCP lead by 119 on the first innings and then added 58, so Service Industries need 178 to win and had made 1 without loss. This is our reading of the printed scores, not a statement from the PCB, and the page could be stale.
The league stage ended with two innings wins
The last league round was played on 5 October, with three matches. Two of them were won by an innings. In the third, Service Industries made 160 and declared their second innings at 304 for 9, but SASA Packaging still won by 8 wickets.
| Match on 5 October | Result |
|---|---|
| UCP 411 for 9 v Sports Board Punjab 149 and 95 | UCP won by 167 runs and an innings |
| University of Punjab 302 for 9 v ZM Electronics 137 and 57 | University of Punjab won by 108 runs and an innings |
| Service Industries 160 and 304 for 9 v SASA Packaging 264 and 204 for 2 | SASA Packaging won by 8 wickets |
Earlier, on 27 September, UCP made 405 for 4 against Service Industries and won by 8 wickets. The only win ZM Electronics have is the 8-run win over Sports Board Punjab on the same day, after scoring 227 and 189 against 243 and 165.
Muhammad Saleem leads the runs and Haris Khan leads the wickets
Muhammad Saleem has 621 runs, the highest on the leaderboard. Mohammad Abdul Rehman has 434, Attyab Ahmad 433, Chaudhry Muhammad Naveed 430 and Muhammad Zahid 424. Haris Khan leads the bowlers with 45 wickets, ahead of Muhammad Aleem Imtiaz with 40 and Huzaifa Ayub with 31.
The leaderboard was read before the semi-finals finished, and we cannot tell whether it already counts them. Treat the totals as provisional until the final match is complete.
How to follow the final
The match centre lists 18 October 2026 as the end date. We did not see a final on the pages we read, so open the Upcoming tab after the semi-finals end. The PCB match centre guide shows how to find the Matches, Point Table and Leaderboard tabs.
