Both openers of USM went back to the pavilion in a quick succession. They could not manage to deal with the pace of ADF bowlers. They sent back Najam on the 2nd ball of the match when tried to clear the mid off and cought. Kashif also could not prove his worth and went back to pavillion in the 2nd over. After the departure of both opners ADF bowlers took controle and started taking wickets in regular intervals. Depan showd the resistence but went back after scoring 18 runs. On the total of 62 eight batsmen were out then Zubair came in and started developing partnership with Zaigham. He hit three 6s and two boundries.
