Dubai Hurricanes pulled off a last ball thrilling victory against Shindagha Mammoths in the 18th edition of the Dubai Cricket Council’s League of Mammoths tournament played at the Sevens Oval 1.

Hurricanes, after an initial stutter, found their bearings through Cameron and Jason Stewart. Both the batsmen contributed 44 runs each to give their team a decent total of 170.


Opener Sunil Kumar chipped in with 30 runs.

Shindagha never really got going in their chase until No. 6 batsman Shajil Balan walked to the crease. His 45 from 34 balls (5x4) brought some light into the Sindagha tunnel but Jason Stewart after doing well with the bat proved good with the ball too claiming two wickets.


He was backed up by Fergus who also bagged a couple of wickets as Shindagha after coming close were bowled out with two runs needed for victory and a ball to spare.

Vinay Tolani was the toast of Nad Al Sheba’s three-wicket win over Zabeel Mammoths in another match.

Tolani was impressive with the ball taking four wickets to restrict Zabeel to 171 after Ram Narisetty (23), Janaka Chaturanga (52) and Prajakt Chouhan (32) had threatened to pile up a big total.

Later Tolani struck an unbeaten 47 from 36 balls (1x6, 5x4) and along with Mohammad Kaif (52) raised 91 crucial runs for the seventh wicket to take their team home in 21.2 overs.
