The weather was once again favoring the NU Cricketers. After a defeat in the first game by 11 runs, Shahid Naz's team gained a series drawing victory in a last ball thriller.
The opposition was limited to a mere 66 off of 12 overs, but after both chasing openers were dismissed cheaply, the job didn't seem so easy anymore. The wound worsened when Raj took two successive wickets and, though missing a hat-trick, brought Naz's boys to a crippling 9 for 4 wickets. Luckily Ramu and Ajith dug in for a 47-run partnership that saved the innings. Though Ajith was out with 2 runs needed off 3 balls, Captain Naz hit the winning run to bring his side home.
1st Innings: 66/6 (all out)
