Salman, Shah shine in 
Al Marjan’s win

Salman stroked a breezy 106 for his side to amass 258 for eight and Shah grabbed five for 14 from his five overs to bundle out Phoenix for 96.

The youngsters from the MCC-Zayed Cricket Academy pulled off a splendid seven-wicket win over West Life.

Mohammed Omer, the 16-year-old opener, anchored their innings with an unbeaten 60 after Hamza Qureshi (4-23), Geet Sahani (3-16) and Udara Perera (2-29) had restricted West Life to 118 for nine in the truncated 20 overs.

Omer’s run-a-ball knock contained five fours and a couple of sixes, while Jawad Qazi, the captain, chipped in with a useful 26 to see the Academy clinch the game with two deliveries to spare.
