While, Ruhaim Barmwar (20/3) Abdul Haq (4/44) helped Royal to restrict Youngstar to 146 in 19.4 overs, Opener Abu Mohammed continued his dream form as he plundered an unbeaten 46 off 40 balls with Royal winning by a canter in only 17.4 overs. Abu Mohammed had seven fours in his innings.

Earlier, Abeer hit a stroke-filled 38 but Royal bowlers showed a lot of discipline to restrict Youngstar to a modest 146.
