HSBC earn full points in Dulsco cricket
DUBAI — Hasnain Malik’s unbeaten half-century saw HSBC earn their first points in the 9th Dulsco Ramadan Cricket Tournament in Dubai, a press release said.
Malik’s 77 and his seventh-wicket stand of 85 runs with Hemanth (42), saw HSBC pile up 200 as they were put into bat by Wings XI.
The Bankers then restricted their rivals to 130 for 7 for a 70-run victory which also saw Malik walk away with the man of the match award.
The 20-over tournament, organized by Dulsco SC in association with the Dubai Municipality, is being played at the Zabeel Park Cricket grounds, Dubai under the auspices of the Dubai Cricket Council.
After being asked to take the first strike, HSBC lost their opener Gul M for two. One-down Shabbir also did not last long and returned to the pavilion after contributing just two runs. Damian (29) and Sudhir (25) then added some valuable runs for the Bankmen.
It was left to Malik to boost their innings with a cameo innings of 77 made from 38 balls. He hit six towering sixes and four fours and along with Hemanth saw his team set up a victory target of 201 for Wings XI. Hemanth hit a hurricane 15-ball 42 which included two hits to the fence and four over it.
Anmol was the most successful bowler for HSBC with four wickets and conceded 34 runs. Sajid and Nadeem picked up one each for 22 and 29 runs respectively. Mansoor was the most expensive bowler conceding 54 runs in his four allotted overs.
Needing to score ten runs an over, Wings XI lost wickets at regular intervals and could only manage 130 losing seven wickets in the end.
Siddarth top scored for the losers with an unbeaten 30. Sajid (20), Fazeel (17), Neeraj (14) and Adveth (10) were others who reached double-digit scores. Ali claimed two wickets whilst conceding 23 runs in his three-over spell for the winners. Sudhir, Shezhad, Damian and Sidharth picked up one wicket each.
This is the second loss for Wings XI after losing to BMX earlier. HSBC had lost to Yogi Group by 131 runs in their first match in Group A.
Brief scores: HSBC beat Wings XI by 70 runs. HSBC 200 for 6 (Hasnain Malik 77*, Hemanth 42*, Damian 29, Sudhir 25; Anmol 4/34) Wings XI 130 for 7 (Sidharth 30*, Sajid 20, Fazeel 17, Neeraj 14, Adveth 10; Ali 2 for 23).
Man of the match: Hasnain Malik of HSBC.
