On Saturday evening, ILT20 Thunderbolts registered a comprehensive 94-run victory over ILT20 Marvels. Put in first, the Thunderbolts posted a competitive total of 181/3 in 20 overs.

The Marvels chased down the target with ease. Opener Ahmed Tariq's cautious knock of 24 runs in 30 balls and Muhammed Waseem's explosive innings of 34 runs in 15 balls ensured they would wrap up the innings in 11.4 overs with eight wickets in hand.

Jawadullah, Simranjeet Singh and Umair Ali each picked up two wickets to keep the Giants at bay.
