After winning the toss, the Overseas Warrior decided to bat first. However, without marking any significant performance, the batting side bold out on 101 runs. In response, various Jammu Batters showcased their extraordinary skills to entertain fans in a low-scoring game.
Notable batters from Jammu include Shahzab with 40 runs of 18 balls, Azaz Khan with 17, and Sharjeel Khan with 29 runs on 18 balls. Sharjeel innings consist of four boundaries and two sixes, with one breaking the glass window.

Later in the innings, Sohail Khan from the Overseas Warrior impressed everyone with his maiden hat-trick of the tournament. The young pacer conceded only 14-runs, while Umar Akmal was one of his three consecutive targets.
