DUBAI — An unbeaten half-century by Najibullah helped AMI chalk out their first win in the 9th Dulsco Ramadan Cricket tournament bat the Zabeel Park Dubai, a press release said.

The 20-over tournament, organized by Dulsco Sports Club in association with the Dubai Municipality, is being played under the auspices of the Dubai Cricket Council.
Chasing a relatively easy victory target, AMI lost opener Gul for eight and one-down Abrar for no score. However, Najibullah kept his end intact despite losing four of his colleagues. He put the Rotory Humm attack to the sword, smashing the bowlers all over the field. Kapila gave Najibullah support as he contributed 17 runs from 16 deliveries. But it was Najibullah, the man of the match, who made the victory look easy.
