However, the run-rate never slowed, with Kamtan playing some clever shots on his way to 48 and Will Nettleton smashing some big sixes in his 43. Despite resistance from Jamil Zada who bowled his ten overs for 22 runs, and Hamad Mumtaz who took 3-52, Leith cruised to 272 for 7 at the close of the innings. In reply Westquarter got of to a solid start with Hamad Mumtaz and Amit Piratwad finding the boundary with regularity, but the first wicket fell at 37 when Amit was yorked by Harper.

Captain Shoeb Farooqui joined Hamad at the crease and both took the attack to the bowling, staying close to the required run-rate. Both batsmen looked relatively comfortable, but a loose shoe from Shoeb gave Leith the breakthrough, and the next two wickets fell shortly thereafter.  Adam Jeremiah supported Hamad well as the runs kept flowing, but disaster struck when Hamad was caught off the bowling of Heinitz with the score on 134. Despite a defiant knock of 31 from Adam and a swashbuckling 24 from Zeeshan Ikram, Westquarter couldn’t keep up with the rate and were eventually bowled out for 217.
