Birmingham Bears got off to a strong start after being asked to bat. Openers Tom Latham and Alex Davies put together a 79-run stand. Latham scored 58 runs from 42 deliveries, while Davies added 49 runs off 29 balls. Birmingham posted a total of 199 for six, which proved too much for the opposition.
The Pakistan pacer returned for a second spell to wrap up the tail and took four wickets late in the innings, including a hat-trick. Ross Whiteley (caught at long-off), Alex Thomson (caught at mid-on), and Ben Aitchison (bowled) were his victims in the hat-trick.

Sam Hain was caught deep as the innings progressed, with wickets falling. However, Moeen Ali and George Garton's cameo kept the momentum alive, helping the Bears reach a strong total of 199, including 21 runs from the final over.
