Tariq Shah shines as Rufi Real Estate win Conmix Cup
SHARJAH - Tariq Shah produced a dramatic five-wicket haul as Rufi Real Estate defeated Yogi Group by 28 runs in the final to win the second Al Dhaid Ramadan T-20 Tournament, organised by the Sharjah Cricket Council, for the Conmix Cup at Al Dhaid Cricket Village, a press release said.
Bowling with nagging accuracy, Tariq conceded just eight runs for his five wickets to run through the high-profile Yogi Group batting line up and set up an impressive victory for his side.
Rufi Real Estate, batting first, scored a competitive 157 for seven with Zeeshan Khan doing bulk of the scoring. Zeeshan smashed a fluent 45 off 28 balls with three fours and two sixes. Shakeel Raja (33 off 31 balls with three sixes) and Rohan Mustafa (29 not out off 18 balls) further consolidated the innings with some fine batting.
Nasir Aziz and Kamran Shahzad snared two wickets each, but they failed to prevent Rufi Real Estate from seizing the early initiative.
Yogi Group, who were aiming for a grand double following their title victory in the Sharjah Ramadan Tournament, could manage only 129 for nine. Naeemuddin Aslam (49 off 30 balls with five fours and three sixes) and Prabodhan Kanse (25 off 22 balls with four fours) did bat well, but all other batsmen just failed to negotiate the Tariq Shah-led Rufi Real Estate attack.
Rohan Mustafa further made life difficult for Yogi Group batsmen, taking two wickets for 26 runs while Shakeel Raja and Zeeshan Khan picked up one each to help their side seal a comfortable win in the final.
Tariq Shah was named Man of the Final for his stunning spell while Prabodhan Kanse of Yogi Group was adjudged Best Batsman of the Tournament and Rohan Mustafa of Rufi Real Estate took the Best Bowler award. The prestigious Player of the Tournament prize went to Haji Irfan Akram of Afridi CC.
