ADIS sets up decisive game with Cambridge

ABU DHABI — Abu Dhabi Indian School (ADIS) setup a decisive match with Cambridge High School in the Lifebuoy Abu Dhabi inter-school open age tournament after a comprehensive 70-run win over Indian Islahi over the weekend.

The result moves Sunrise School in to a semifinal spot with ADIS and Cambridge set to battle it out for the remaining slot.

Shadab Akhtar (40) and Pankaj Suman (29) gave ADIS a sound start by putting on 74 in 10.2 overs but the rest of the batters failed to get into double figures. Sarfaraz Sameer (4 for 23) and Jasmeet Singh (3-14) did some damage but their side also gave away 34 extras that went against them.

In return, Indian Islahi were bowled out for 72. Anson Quadros was the pick of their bowling with two for 12 from four overs.

Bikramjeet Singh delivered a captain’s performance for Sherwood, as they kept their hopes alive of reaching the last four in the Under 16 division.

Singh hit 73 and took two for 12 from three overs to lead his team to a 112-run victory over the British School-Al Khubairat. He arrived at the crease when two wickets had fallen for 15 to produce a match-winning knock, hitting nine fours and a six in 62 deliveries.

Sherwood and ADIS will now clash for the last semifinal spot behind Cambridge, Model and Indian Islahi in the U16.
