Toss: Pakistanis
Pitch: 8A - Some turn for spinners
The Pakistanis won the toss and elected to bat, and were immediately in trouble, losing both openers for ducks.
Saleem quickly followed for 2, and when Imran fell it was 42/4.
Rameez Raja batted well for 73 to stop the rot, and a hard hitting 30 from keeper Saleem Yousuf carried them to a mediocre 183/9 off 50 overs.
Left arm seamer David Brain bowled superbly for his 3-19 off 10 overs, while offspinner John Traicos enjoyed the spinning conditions.
The home team's reply began badly, as they slipped to 14/3.
Houghton however was playing on a different plane to the others, and found a willing ally in Butchart who posted 32.
Houghton carried on through the innings, posting a wonderful hundred.
With 9 wickets down, and 2 needed for victory, he was on strike to seamer Manzoor Elahi.
Dramatically he edged behind and the crowd held their breath, a catch would have seen them lose the match by a run.
But luckily for Houghton, the edge evaded the keeper and went for 4, giving the ZCU President's XI victory by 1 wicket.
Imran Khan had bowled well for the Pakistanis to get them back into the game, but their first innings total had proven too low and cost them the game.
Houghton's lone hand had given his side victory and he was duly named Man of the Match.
ZCU President's XI won by 1 wicket
