An impressive bowling performance from Atif Ali with 7 for 25 helped give the home side the edge.
Chichester won the toss and inserted Crawley to bat.
Chichester had the perfect start taking two quick wickets of Gul Khan (0) trapped lbw and the very next ball Atif Ali (0) bowled leaving Crawley 0 for 2.
That brought Razwan Hussain to the crease to join Khurram Jalil and to face the hat-trick ball which he put away for two runs.
Severe rain meant 12 overs of the game were lost. After the break, Hussain fell for (18) caught at mid-on.
Then another two quick wickets fell with Bilal Khan (0) lbw and Faisel Rehman (0) lbw. Khurram batted very well for (55) and Farhan for (26).
