Supported by Imam-ul-Haq, who smashed 80 runs off 55 balls, and Yasir Shah, who took 3-23 off his four overs, Balochistan secured a nail-biting three-run win.
“Due to Covid-19 I didn’t play for a long time, I took time out from the middle and regained my touch by practicing hard at the start of the tournament and I was feeling very good today,” Gul was quoted as saying by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) website.
