Nad Al Sheba Mammoths breezed past Dubai Hurricanes by 8 wickets in the 18th edition of the League of Mammoths at the Sevens Oval 1.

Chasing a stiff 185 to win, NAS cantered home in 17 overs after Mohammad Kaif led from the front with a power packed unbeaten 86 off 50 balls. His knock contained five towering sixes and eight boundaries.


Ramandeep Sharma gave Kaif good company after the fall of Sagit Gopinath (18) and Vinay Tolani’s (11) wickets. Ramandeep struck an unbeaten 39 from 29 balls to guide NAS home without much ado.

Earlier, James Gearing missed scoring the tournament’s first century when he struck 97 off only 66 balls. With five sixes and eight fours he put Hurricanes on the road to a big total.


Sunil Kumar (27) and Uzair Ahmed (20) chipped in towards the end but Vinay Tolani applied the brakes to their scoring with four wickets.

In two high scoring but close matches, Banke beat Shindagha Mammoths by five runs and Zabeel Mammoths stopped Jumeirah Mammoths in their tracks to pull off a 16 run win.
