by Ali Shah. Haroon Muhammad followed Nadeem with
another run out. But the turning point in his Halton
Star's 36 runs victory was the two brilliant diving,
one-handed catches by Imran Kazmi that broke the
backbone of United Hunters. First catch he took at the
deep point diving to his right to hold one handed catch
then the 2nd at deep long on running and
diving and rolling to hold catch brilliantly and brought
