Scorecard

Sind scored at nearly five and a half an over in their second innings, but they could manage only 247 for 4 chasing 367 in the fourth innings in Karachi. Sind, though, take three points from the game, by virtue of having taken the first-innings lead.

Overnight at 275 for 1, Federal Areas extended their lead on the fourth day, piling up 411 for 3, a lead of 366. They faced 36 overs before declaring, setting an improbable target for Sind. Umar Amin, who resumed on 101, was caught behind for 115 off Tanvir Ahmed and Bazid Khan failed to convert his 66 not out into a century - he was dismissed for 91, the third catch of the innings for keeper Sarfraz Ahmed. Naved Ashraf scored an unbeaten 54 while opener Umair Khan, who retired hurt on 26 on the third day, returned to finish on 64.

Opener Khalid Latif helped himself to an quick 123, but the rest of the top four didn't make it past 20 in Sind's chase. Latif's 123 needed just 143 balls, with 14 fours and two sixes. Shahid Afridi, his captain, was in his trademark hurry to score: his 59 came off 36 deliveries, with six fours and two sixes. The quick runs, though, were unable to push Sind towards victory.
