IBA Alumni Premier League – Reliving the Highlights of IBA Alumni Premier League!!!

The Alumni Affairs Department is pleased to announce its latest annual social event for the sporty alumni of IBA.  

We're thrilled to share a quick recap of the IBA Alumni Premier League, where 8 alumni teams competed fiercely in a battle of skill and sportsmanship. After the qualifying rounds, four formidable teams – HBL, Dolmen Group, Arif Habib Limited, and Bank Alfalah Limited – battled it out in the semifinals and final, making it a spectacular event for cricket enthusiasts and our alumni community. In a nail-biting final showdown between Arif Habib and Dolmen, the latter emerged victorious despite the rain-affected match. Arif Habib, chasing 118 in 10 overs, showcased an incredible display of sportsmanship and skill but was unable to stop the dominance of the Dolmen Group team from winning the competition. 

None of this would have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors: Topline Securities Ltd, Arif Habib Limited, and JS Global Capital Ltd. Their commitment to our community made the event a resounding success. We extend our sincere appreciation to Shahid Ali Habib and Fahad Bashir for gracing the finals with their presence. It added a special touch to see them supporting their respective teams.
