Kashif Butt and Farooque steadied the innings with a 62-run partnership before Yogesh struck a triple blow, picking up three wickets to have Tiger's Club reeling at five down for 98 runs.

Shafqat Ali then fought back with a gritty knock of 46 runs in 32 balls along with Jahangir, who defied the Tellicherry attack and nearly won the match for the Tiger's but was unfortunately run out to leave Nucaf-Tellicherry winners by a single run.
