Aggressive bowling won it for DZCC

Mohammed Dasthakir, the Dubai Zahirians captain, has singled out his team's aggressive bowling as the factor that clinched a 27-run win in Wonderland, which gave the visitors an unassailable lead in the -match. Raffals put in a spirited performance with the bat, bowling out Dubaizahirians for 133/9 in a must-win game because last year they have lost, but capitulated during the chase in the wake of attacking bowling from Mohammed Haithar, Mohammed Faris and Mohammed Nazeer, who shared Seven wickets between them.


"The bowlers today must take the credit. They bowled with real aggression and intensity and today it's their win," Dastha said after the match. "I thought we let ourselves down [with the bat] with some poor middle order cricket, especially in the last 2 overs - a bit of awareness levels and making some bad decisions under pressure. But we knew the wicket had a bit in for the bowlers."A lot of guys actually look up to me to try and give them a good start. But if that doesn't happen they should put their hands up and be counted."
