Our Own English win

Our Own English High School, Sharjah defeated Our Own – Al Warqaa by two wickets in the Under-17 Maxtalent Global Vision Cup tie.

Contributions from Akshay (14) and Hemant (11) ensured that Our Own - Warqaa’ reached 115 in 23.4 overs. With the ball Ishaan Vasant, Baburaj and Mehdi Raza did the most damage, each picking up two wickets.
