They ended the unbeaten run of Yogi Group and then eased to a nine wicket win over the Emirates Cricket Board Blues to take their tally to four points and joint second with Nissan Al Masaood with a game at hand.

Sharjeel was the main contributor in both games, hitting 58 against Yogi and struck a breezy 77 not out against the young ECB Blues, made up a teenage squad, at the Zayed stadium.

Sharjeel hit seven fours and three sixes and shared a 100-run partnership with Abdul Shakoor for the second wicket for their team to knock off the winning runs in 17.2 overs in reply to Yogi’s 154 for nine.

He smashed 11 fours and five sixes in his 27-ball knock to steer them to a nine-wicket win with 12 overs to spare against ECB Blues.

New Medical Centre notched up their fourth win to complete the group unbeaten in four games.

Niresh Fernando anchored the NMC inning with a top score of 52 not out to lead them to a four-wicket triumph over Seven Seas Strikers. He hit half-a-dozen fours in NMC’s 107 for six in 17.2 overs.
