Her team posted a total of 243 runs on the board by losing 9 wickets. In reply Abahani only scored 133 runs. BKSP lost the match but they were ahead by run rate, so they secured their Super League spot staying in the fifth position.

In the other match BKSP have beaten Mohammadan by 5 wickets. Four teams already insured their place on the Super League. Only one team wasn’t decided. Abahani and  BKSP shared the same spot with 9 points. Two teams lost their last match. So they their point was  same as before. But Abahani’s run rate was far better. These two teams head to head match was also abandoned due to rain, for this run rate was taken into consideration. That gave advantage to the Abahani.
