Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2010.

The outgoing champions subsided inside 47 overs for 146 after PIA skipper Kamran Sajid elected to bowl first at the National Stadium.

PIA, who need maximum points to qualify for next week's final against Habib Bank at the same venue, had already taken lead on the first innings by reaching stumps at 155-3.

Despite losing three wickets for 53 runs, PIA moved in front through the unbroken partnership of 102 between opener Agha Sabir (74) and Faisal Iqbal (49).

Aizaz was unplayable as he sliced through the Blues' middle-order to claim seven for 65 in 14 overs. Bowling to a probing line and length, the 31-year-old Sargodha-born paceman bowled five batsmen and trapped Mohammad Bilal in front for a second-ball duck.

Only promising Rameez Raja showed stomach for the PIA bowling in a 63-ball knock of 54.
