LUMS Cricket Team in Karachi for IBA Bilateral Series

Report by: Safwan (Senior Rep)

The tradition of LUMS vs IBA home and away series each year was upheld this time around too as LUMS Cricket Team traveled to Karachi to compete in a fiercely fought three-match series between the two teams.

The first match was a low scoring encounter where IBA chased down 118 in the final over to start of the series with a win. In the second match, LUMS turned up with their A-game, chasing IBA’s mere target of 111 with 9 wickets to spare. These results made sure that the 3rd match was a virtual final, where IBA edged home in a tightly contested match to secure the series 2-1.LUMS gave a target of 135 runs which IBA chased down in the last over.

Zair Riaz was declared the Man of the Series for his all-round performance.
