Man of the Match: Ben Dunk (LQ) Lahore Qalandars won the toss and elected to field first.
1st Innings

It was the partnership between Alex Hales and Chadwick Walton that meant trouble for the Qalandars as it was raining sixes in the last few overs. Hales went on to make another half-century as he ended up with 80* from 48 while Walton played a handy cameo of 45 runs from just 20 balls. Both hit 5 sixes.
Karachi posted a big total of 187/5 in their 20 overs. Hales was dropped early in the innings by Lahore Qalandars and he later punished them big time.

Jazz CEO Vows to End Workplace Bias in Strong Women’s Day Message

Jazz CEO Aamir Hafeez Ibrahim sent a strong and honest message about the poor state of women’s workplace inclusion in Pakistan ahead of Women’s Day.
While acknowledging that Pakistani women even in this day and age face workplace bias that adversely affects their careers and professional ambitions, Ibrahim informed that Jazz was countering it by enabling women through a number of ways.
In a tweet thread on Saturday, Aamir Ibrahim said, “Despite several Pakistani women trailblazers, they typically suffer bias in the workplace and find it harder to be hired, get promotions, and get equal pay. At Jazz we work to end workplace bias by reinforcing #EachForEqual.”
He elaborated that Jazz was pursuing and promoting gender equality not only through enhanced workplace integration of women, but also by harnessing technology to empower them. Ibrahim also rightly pointed to Pakistani women’s poor financial inclusion as a major impediment to their active economic participation.
