Sinclair shines as Renegades thrash Pak America by 59 runs

Core Fusion Renegades secured a commanding 59-run victory over Pak America in the Rana Hussain Memorial Tournament final, thanks to a superb all-round display from Guyanese star Kevin Sinclair.
After being sent in to bat, the Renegades were bowled out for 179 in 19.5 overs. Sinclair led the charge with a blistering 61 from 30 balls, striking eight fours and two sixes. He was well supported by M Asad Ghous, who compiled 48 from 34 deliveries with five boundaries and a six, while Leon Swammy added 21 from 18 balls. Muhammad Naseem and Muhammad Khalil picked up two wickets apiece for Pak America.
