Yasir Hameed, who hammered 74 off 102 deliveries with six hits to the fence, and Mahmood came together in a face-saving fifth wicket partnership of 158 in 31 overs after PIA had lost four wickets for 20 runs.

All-rounder Kamran Hussain was pick of the bowlers with fine figures of four for 41 in nine overs.
