Sui Southern Gas Company were a first-class cricket team, sponsored by Sui Southern Gas Company, who played in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy in Pakistan from 2007-08 to 2009-10.

Playing record

After winning the non-first-class Grade II section of the Patron's Trophy in 2006-07[1] they were promoted to first-class status.

They finished seventh out of 11 in Group A in the Quaid-i-Azam Trophy in 2007-08, eighth in 2008-09, and ninth in 2009-10. In all they played 29 first-class matches, with three wins, 11 losses and 15 draws.
