The former Pakistan U19 international then knocked off the modest target before tea, hitting 11 fours and a six in his 34-ball unbeaten 62, sharing an unbroken 88 opening partnership in just 8.5 overs with Muddy Rajput (18*) in a bloodless win.

Rush beat Terenure by 5 wickets
Terenure 153 (33.1 overs: Sidharth Nair 57, Sadiq Safi 23; Alex Neary 3-16, Asher Abbasi 3-29, Allan Eastwood 2-13,
Rush 154/5 (24.5 overs: Josh Doyle 37, Nasir Totakhiel 25*, Nathan McGuire 24; Jinal Khatri 3-54)

Three times winners produced a solid display to beat Terenure by 5 wickets in the all-Leinster clash at Kenure. Former Irish international Allan Eastwood returned from his hamstring injury to take the important early wickets of Seamus Lynch and Henry Dall. Sid Nair top-scored with a run-a-ball 57 that included 6 sixes, but three wickets apiece for Alex Neary and Asher Abbasi meant a target of 154 for the hosts. An opening stand of 64 dominated by Josh Doyle (37) and a plethora of extras put them well on their way, but a burst of three wickets from leggie Jinal Khatri meant a few nerves among the home support. They needn't have worried though as 20s from Nathan McGuire and Nasir Totakhiel ensured the victory.
