Sher Lama & Tauseef Bukhari see Lamma C.C. home with an unbroken fourth-wicket partnership of 112. Both batsmen knuckled down to compile patient half-centuries, Tauseef finishing with 56 n.o. and Man-of-the-Match Sher Lama, who finished the game with a huge six over mid-wicket once he’d reached his 50, scored 59 n.o. to go with his four wickets
