KARACHI, Sept 30: Fine batting by Saifullah Bangash and a good all-round how from Yasir Mushtaq inspired Qadri Model School to a crushing 165-run victory over Khan Secondary School in the last quarter-final of the HBL-KCCA Inter-school tournament played at the KCCA Stadium here on Thursday.

Saifullah struck 85 and Yasir scored 66 as Qadri Model School piled up 251 all out after winning the toss and opting to bat first. Abdul Rehman grabbed three for 32.
