Sports Reporter25-Dec-2002Pak PWD and Allied Bank Limited were the only winners in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy National Cricket Championship as the remaining nine matches were badly disrupted by bad weather across the country on the fourth and final day on Tuesday.PWD needed 96 minutes to claim Dadu’s remaining five wickets after Monday’s heavy rain delayed the start at UBL Complex by an hour.Dadu were eventually dismissed for 149 in their second innings, giving PWD a well-deserved 97-run victory. Pacer Shakeel-ur-Rehman and off-spinner Aftab Ahmed captured four wickets each with the former completing a match haul of nine for 67.ABL trounced Multan by an innings and 33 runs at Multan Cricket Stadium.Multan, overnight 184 for seven, were all out for 251 in their second essay.

Helped by inspired and wayward bowling, Bahawalpur were never in real trouble on a pitch that played exceptionally well.Opener Mohammad Rashid was Bahawalpur’s hero with a solid 80 in a stay of 205 minutes. His innings was laced with 13 boundaries.Our Sports Correspondent adds from Lahore: Only 4.1 overs’ play could be possible at Saga Ground in Sialkot on the last day in the match between Gujranwala and Sialkot.Sialkot, who resumed their second innings at nought for the loss of one wicket, scored 10 runs without any loss before the rain had the last laugh.ScoreboardBAHAWALPUR (1st Innings) 167.KARACHI WHITES (1st Innings) 321 (Maisam Hasnain 116, Fahadullah 85).BAHAWALPUR (2nd Innings, overnight 74-0):Maqsood Akbar run out 25Mohammad Rashid c Fahad b Owais 80Ahsan Raza c Fahad b Nasir 44Hasnain Raza c Irfan b Fahad 36Kamran Hussain c Amin b Owais 35Bilal Rana not out 34Inam-ul-Haq not out 20EXTRAS (B-28, LB-6, W-12, NB-1) 47TOTAL (for five wkts, 94 overs) 321FALL OF WKTS: 1-80, 2-164, 3-177, 4-239, 5-262.BOWLING: Owais Athar 27-8-76-2; Rizwan Saeed 13.3-3-37-0 (1nb);Nasir Khan 22-2-72-1 (1w); Maisam Hasnain 10-1-39-0; Irfanuddin 14-2-46-0;Fahadullah 4.3-0-12-1 (3w); Mohammad Masroor 3-2-5-0.RESULT: Match drawn.Brief scores of other matches:*At UBL Sports Complex, Karachi:Pak PWD beat Dadu by 97 runs.PAK PWD 116 (Saad Wasim 53 not out; Athar Laeeq 4-39, Kashif Ali 4-46,Khair Ali 2-28) and 196 (Iqbal Imam 34, Saad Wasim 31; Athar Laeeq 6-34,Khair Ali 3-69);DADU 66 (Shakeel-ur-Rehman 5-15, Ali Raza 3-23) and 149(Mohammad Saleem 52 not out, Shahid Qambrani 38; Aftab Ahmed 4-13,Shakeel-ur-Rehman 4-52).*At Multan Cricket Stadium, Multan:ABL beat Multan by innings and 33 runs.MULTAN 158 (Zeeshan Khan 31; Arshad Khan 4-54, Ata-ur-Rehman 3-38,Tanvir Ahmed 2-40) and 251 (Mohammad Fazil 91 not out,Mohammad Ali Niazi 82; Tanvir Ahmed 3-57, Arshad Khan 3-63);ALLIED BANK 442-8 declared (Bilal Asad 151, Naved Latif 120,Aamir Hanif 50 not out, Usman Tariq 33, Azhar Abbas 4-114).*At LCCA Ground, Lahore:Match drawn, no play on final day.LAHORE BLUES 195 (Latif Gohar 40; Moazzam Ali 3-65,Farooq Iqbal 3-14) and 28-0;FAISALABAD (Asif Hussain 121, Ijaz Mahmood 50, Wasim Haider 42;Sajid Ali 6-82).*At Sports Stadium, Sargodha:Match drawn, no play on final day.NATIONAL BANK 171 (Sajid Ali 57, Akhtar Sarfraz 39; Ahmed Hayat 4-50,Mohammad Sarfraz 3-21) and 89-4 (Mohammad Sarfraz 3-33);SARGODHA 218 (Majid Saeed 62; Mushtaq Ahmed 5-54).*At Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore:Match draw, no play on final day.LAHORE WHITES 353 (Aamir Sajjad 153; Waqas Chughtai 4-111);SHEIKHUPURA 397-6 (Saleem Mughal 146 not out, Mohammad Islam 69 not out,Waqar Ahmed 40, Maqsood Raza 33).*At Saga Ground, Sialkot:Match drawn.GUJRANWALA 280 (KamranYounis61, IftikharAhmed 51) and 275 (Mohammad Khalid 60,Fayyaz Ahmed 42; Tahir Mughal 4-89, Shahid Khan 3-85);SIALKOT 231 (Faisal Khan 88, Shahid Khan 44; Naved Arif 5-67) and 10-1.*At Lahore Country Club, Muridke:Match drawn, no play on final day.PAKISTAN CUSTOMS 276 (Naseem Khan 92, Shadab Kabir 44, Azhar Shafiq 34;Danish Kaneria 5-71) and 165-8 (Naseem Khan 40);HABIB BANK 244 (Akram Raza 43 not out, Khaqan Arsal 37, Atiq-uz-Zaman 33;Imran Ali 4-70, Abdur Rauf 3-86).*At KRL Stadium, Rawalpindi:Match drawn, no play on final day.PIA 196 (Kamran Sajid 52, Bazid Khan 45; Jaffar Nazir 5-44) and 1-0;KRL 238 (Saeed Anwar Jr 93, Intikhab Alam 42; Umar Gul 6-97).*At Pindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi:Match drawn, no play on final day.RAWALPINDI 133 (Babar Naeem 91; Rao Iftikhar 4-37, Mubashir Nazir 3-36,Saad Janjua 3-22);ZTBL 311-8 (Hafiz Majid 83, Faisal Naved 62, Javed Hayat 57; Mohammad Akram 3-62,Mohammad Fayyaz 3-59).*At Arbab Niaz Stadium, Peshawar:Match drawn, no play on final day.PESHAWAR 414 (Jahangir Khan 168, Mohammad Fayyaz 68) and 125 (Imranullah 4-48,Sharif Asadullah 3-60);KARACHI BLUES 288 (Sajid Hanif 91, Khurram Manzoor 73, Imranullah 53;Nauman Habib 4-80)
