**Faisalabad, Pakistan:** The Markhors extended their winning streak in the Champions One-Day Cup on Wednesday, defeating the Dolphins by a convincing 92 runs in the tournament’s sixth game at the Iqbal Stadium.
The Markhors set a formidable target of 285 runs, thanks to a century from Kamran Ghulam (113 runs off 110 balls) and a crucial half-century from skipper Mohammad Rizwan (51 runs off 67 balls). Ghulam’s innings included 12 fours and 3 sixes, while Salman Agha chipped in with a well-played 49 runs. Faheem Ashraf was the standout bowler for the Dolphins, claiming four wickets for 43 runs.
In reply, the Dolphins struggled from the outset, losing early wickets and failing to build substantial partnerships. Captain Saud Shakeel (41 runs off 56 balls) offered some resistance, but the Dolphins were ultimately bowled out for 192 in 43.5 overs. Asif Ali’s attacking 50 runs off 43 balls provided some brief momentum, but it wasn’t enough to salvage the chase.
Mohammad Imran and Salman Agha were the pick of the Markhors’ bowlers, taking three wickets each. This victory marks the Markhors’ third consecutive win in the tournament, solidifying their position as a strong contender for the title.
