Imtiyaz Turky Lenz knew they had put the batsmen under pressure early on to defend their modest total.
The T and B Brothers lost wickets at regular intervals, but steady knocks from Mark Pearse (58), Ridwaan Kheliya (35) and Asad Badat (28) got them over the line with one to spare as they ended on 168/8.
Imtiyaz Turky Lenz’s bowlers did not make chasing down the total easy for the opposition. Imran Baloch and Iftikhaar Ali were the picks of the bowlers. Baloch took 2/30 runs after 3.3 overs and Ali ended with 2/43 after three overs.
T and B Brothers will be taking on Maq 11 on June 27 at Springs Old Boys.
