Raja Samiullah was the standout, netting five goals, while Mir Huzaifa Ahmed added three to complete a dominant performance. Lt. Col. Faizan Tasadduq Bhutta scored two for Peshawar and Sub Israr Wali contributed one as the side battled to close the gap.
The evening session produced a nail-biting finish as SQ Seagold/Newage Cables edged SEAFA Logistics International 6–5½. Saqib Khan Khakwani led SQ Seagold with three crucial goals, supported by single goals from Ali Quli Khan, Adnan Jalil Azam and Shiraz Qureshi. Agha Musa Ali Khan delivered four goals for SEAFA and the team benefited from a one and a half goal handicap, but fell just short in a closely fought finish.
