G Force outplay Young Talent

SHARJAH - Zamin Jaleel smashed a blistering 86 to steer G Force to a fine six-wicket victory over Young Talent in a under-16 match of the Sharjah Inter-Academy Tournament, organized by the Sharjah Cricket Council, a press release said.

Zamin was well supported by Kurt, who made 34, as G Force overhauled Young Talent’s competitive score of 166 for five in 17.2 overs. Earlier, Ruben Abrahan (73) and Umer Khalid (28) batted well to propel Young Talent to a healthy score, but their bowlers failed to defend the total.
