&lt;p&gt;In a final that was tight until the last three overs, Dolphins 167/8Â proved too little for Stallions to chase as they won the event withÂ seven balls to spare.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karachi Dolphins chose to bat on a pitch that produced high scoresÂ throughout the tournament and made a quick start with opener Shahzaib Hussain scoring 30 off just 14 balls that included four boundaries and a huge six.&lt;br /&gt;
Khalid Latif hit unbeaten 81 off 59 balls. Asad Shafiq was anotherÂ leading scorer, who made 38 off 35 balls with two fours and a toweringÂ six. Dolphins no other batsmen could even entered into double figuresÂ and they lost most of their wickets in the final overs whileÂ attempting big shots.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For Stallions Raza Hassan grabbed four wickets for 33 runs, while oneÂ wicket each was taken by Umaid Asif and Rana Naved-ul-Hasan. TwoÂ batsmen were run out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In reply, almost all Sialkot's top-order batsmen contributed to theirÂ victory except semi-final centurion opening batsman Shakeel Ansar, whoÂ was run out on six.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The chase got off to an explosive start with Imran Nazir smacking 41Â runs off just 20 balls. He smashed two sixes and six fours. StallionsÂ captain Shoaib Malik as well as Haris Sohail hammered blazing halfÂ centuries. Malik made 62 off 42 with seven fours while Sohail scoredÂ 55 off 48 balls. Both the batsmen also remained unbeaten.  Faraz AhmedÂ was the only bowler of Karachi Dlophin, who could take one wicket ofÂ Stallions. One batsman (Shakeel Ansar) was run out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stallions captain Shoaib Malik was declared player of the match, whileÂ Karachi Dolphins opening batsman Khalid Latif was declared player ofÂ the tournament for his outstanding performance in throughoutÂ tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
