Cedar College delivered a commanding performance in the first semi-final of the Empower Super League Season 02, defeating FPS by 8 wickets to secure a berth in the grand finale. A clinical display with both bat and ball ensured Cedar’s dominance throughout the high-stakes encounter.
Batting first FPS failed to capitalize on the semi-final stage as Cedar’s bowlers dominated from the outset. FPS’s batting lineup crumbled under pressure, with only a few batters managing to contribute meaningfully. Despite a few glimpses of resistance from Shahzain (33 off 22), Usman (20 off 15) FPS was unable to build any significant partnerships, leaving their total well below par at 121/10.
Cedar’s Usman, Ayaan and Muhammad shared two wickets apiece while Huzaifa managed to snag one as well.
Chasing the target, Cedar College approached the game with calm precision. Their top-order batters displayed remarkable composure, stitching together solid partnerships to keep the scoreboard ticking. A standout performance from their opener Hamza (88 off 42) set the foundation, as Cedar stormed to an 8-wicket win with 8.3 overs to spare.
Cedar College’s emphatic 8-wicket victory in the semi-final exemplifies their dominance in the Empower Super League Season 02. They await either Sceptre or Nixor College in the final who will compete in the second semi-final.
