KARACHI -- Half-century from Javeria Khan and three-fers by Noreen Yaqoob and Saima Malik led Challengers to a thrilling seven-run win over Dynamites and into the final of Pakistan Cup Women's Cricket Tournament.

This was Challengers' second successive win in the one-day phase of the Pakistan Cup Women's Cricket Tournament and the first defeat for table-toppers Dynamites.

In turn, Dynamites' opening pair Khadija Chishti (15, 37b, 1x4) and captain Sidra Amin (36, 53b, 7x4s) provided a 43-run start to the innings.
