Match 28: Bowlers, Sharjeel Take Karachi Kings Through to the Semi-Finals
Karachi Kings won the toss and elected to field first.
1st Innings
Islamabad United, having lost 4 of their main overseas players including Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi, Colin Ingram, and Dale Steyn, were put in to bat first. The openers were cautious as they combined to add 35 for the first wicket.
A number of players got the starts, however, none of them went big, thus posting a very small total of 136/6 in their 20 overs.
All of Karachi’s bowlers contributed to restricting Islamabad United to a meager total. Hussain Talat top-scored with 37 from 30 as the away side hit just one six in the entire innings.
2nd Innings
Chasing a target of 137, Sharjeel Khan and Babar Azam were brilliant right from the word go. The openers added 60 in just 4 overs before Sharjeel was given LBW off the bowling of Akif Javed.
Babar followed soon after as Mohammad Musa cleaned him up. After that, Islamabad bowlers tied the screws. In the 7 overs after Sharjeel’s wicket, the batsmen could only add 26 run..

Islamic Banking Industry’s Assets Surge to Over Rs. 3 Trillion
Islamic Banking Industry (IBI) continues to flourish in the country as its assets reached Rs. 3 trillion by the end of 2019.
According to the Islamic Banking Bulletin issued by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the assets of IBI grew by 9.6 percent or Rs. 289 billion in the last quarter to reach Rs. 3.284 trillion. Thus, the market share of the IB’s assets in the overall banking industry stands at a quite impressive level of 14.9 percent for 2019.
Since the re-launch of the Islamic banking industry early in 2000 with merely one bank (Meezan Bank), the industry strived hard to penetrate the market with little awareness and acceptance among the general public and consumers of banking services.
Gradually, the industry expanded with the addition of two more full-fledged banks—BankIslami and Dubai Islamic Bank in 2005 and then Al Baraka Bank Pakistan was established after a gap of five years in 2010 showing consistent development of the industry with increasing acceptance and demand in the M..
