Ibsons CC lift Al Dhaid Cricket League title

Ibsons CC, batting first, seized the early initiative, scoring a huge 229 for seven in the allotted 20 overs. Parvez led the batting assault, scoring an unbeaten 80. He was well assisted by Fayyaz who chipped in with a fine 58. Experienced Baber Malik further added to the woes of a struggling Nucaf Tellicherry attack by hammering a quick-fire 29.

Nucaf Tellicherry, in reply, excelled in patches, but could never match pace with the ever-increasing asking rate. They were eventually restricted to 156 for eight despite a good innings of 65 not out by Mashood CTK. Hareesh also had a good start, but failed to convert it into a big innings.

Irfan bowled well for Ibsons CC, taking two wickets for 21 runs while Parvez, Tanveer, Umain, Fayyaz and Umer Shah picked up one each to help their side seal a well deserved win in the final.
