Manoj carries Ceylon Hero's Victory

In Jamaica the term criss is used to suggest everything is all right.For with Manoj, they criss.unbeaten 50* Dubai Zahirians struggled to replicate Manoj's impact except with the new ball when they got off to a flying start, in 139 chase in 12 overs.hillal came on then to stifle the openers with a seven-run over with a wicket.The pressure resulted in defend a small target, everything was manoj again.

Despite the early wickets, mohammed Rasmi, through cricketing shots and some improvisation, kept DZCC's hopes behind interested with 2 off 3 balls, but returnee for ceylon heros produced one sharp out swing to leg stump across Rasmi to get him clean bowled. Mohammed Faris and Mohammed Dasthakir , outlandish stunts, Mohammed Imran would have been proud.scored few runs end of the crul dubai zahirians first innings.middle order colleps, senior players drop every thing have cost dubai zahirians on there lost.DZCC's top order came out trying too hard for a big start, losing four wickets for 38, and Mohammed Imran's 30 was not recovery enough on a good Wonderland track with short boundaries. A blazing start from Manoj and support from Indika seemed to have put to rest Ceylon Hero's habit of muddled chases.

The new replacements are dosen't work good for dubai zahirians, mohammed ramzan made only 11 then follw by hillal 13 and ziyad for 16.all made in the end of 12 overs just 139/8.

Big Picture

Leaving Razmar,Rikaz,Siraj,Razeen and Sanaz,Mohammed Sadeek has said "that he was expecting his selection for the next game against Ceylon Heros after five months in the wilderness". mohammed sadeek was disappointed after losing his possition last season but that inspired him to regroup and reset his targets.Mohammed Ramzan the new commer, former Queensland skipper in srilanka got two month contract and selected top of the card.Mohammed Dasthakir said "that am really happy to see Mohammed Ramzan in selection card because such a telented young all-rounder defenatly going to boost the line-up"

in other hand Mohammed Fayaz said ""I was expecting it [the selection call] to be honest. I have been really playing well in recent times for Sharjah SC and there was news floating around that I would be selected," fayaz said. "Since I was out for three months in short format games, it really feels good to be back."

in more, Mohammed Fayaz had a stellar domestic season and that form continued into this year's Sharjah tournement. He said he never had any doubt that he would be unable to make a comeback to the Zahirians team. "There wasn't one day I thought I will never get back. I just had that fire in me. I have been always striving to be a better player and concentrated on the process. Sharjah tour was a huge help; you learn from big cricketers who constantly strive to keep improving. Once you do that, you are going to get just better."

Dubai Zahirians With five wins in their previous seven games, they are undoubtedly favourites, a concept so vital to most sporting contests, but considered taboo in the short format games. They have earned the tag, and not just through the belligerence of Mohammed Rasmi. Mohammed Imran and Mohammed Ziyad have been consistent, mohammed Dasthakir has been effective in his unassuming manner, Mohammed Hillal has shown glimpses of his abilities and, perhaps, most importantly they've been relatively safe with their catching in the past tournaments plagued by poor fielding.

Nazeer and Razmar awaits Zahirias recall

Former dubai zahirians captain and all-rounder Mohammed Nazeer and all-rounder Mohammed Razmar are hopeful that there strong showing on the domestic hotel circuit will earn them a recall to the dubai zahirians side, also Zahirians waitting for replaces for mohammed siraj and mohammed razeen's place due to there vacation.

"I have been working hard over the last couple of months," Nazeer told the DZCC official page. "The selectors said that I haven't been getting runs but so far I scored runs in the middle and few wickets too I am just waiting for a call."

Nazeer was the third-highest run scorer for Hotels in the Dubai Regional four-day competition, making 460 runs, at an average of 41.81 with two half century's from eight games. He was also the leading wicket taker for Raffals in the competition with 11 to his name."Any player [who gets dropped] will want to go out there and look to prove himself. I went out there and did it with the bat and ball Razmar said. I tried to score  runs; I fell short by a bit. I think the break was good for me. I came back home and I did a lot of fitness work."

Razmar said he had viewed his batting footage from when he was in form and was working on a few things that had helped him. "I am missing it a bit [playing for the Zahirians], but I am just waiting and using my time wisely and when I get the opportunity, hopefully, I can play for the next one or two years straight."

Dubai Zahirians face tough warm-up

Dubai Zahirians will step up their preparations for the first game after seven weeks against Shiba Risers when they face a strong JBS SC side at WLP. It's a sign of the depth in Zahirians cricket that a formidable second team can be and they should give the visiters a good idea of their readiness for,

Mohammed Rasmi and Mohammed Saflin, along with the other three players who spent an extra week in Srilanka, have arrived to Dubai so the Zahirians are now at full strength. Facing the likes of Mohammed Arafath, Mohammed Rikaz and Ayyub Padladkka, who has made an impressive return to action after a career-threatening back injury's, will be a good test of adjustment for them on a WLP pitch that often offers help to the pace bowlers like Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Roshan.

 Regardless of their form, however, Mohammed Ziyad and mohammed Fayaz will line up in the  side alongside mohammed Dasthakir, Mohammed Sadeek and Mohammed Rimaz. This match will help Mohammed Farman, DZCC's interim coach, and the selectors decide who will be the final specialist batsman - presuming that is the balance they opt for. will be given a chance to press his claim after Mohammed Ziyad did the job in the last match. Ziyad's useful batting could edge the stakes in his favour.

 The zahirians selectors will also be watching closely. There is a long season ahead and a pool of reserve talent will come in handy. At least one of will be appearing in Rasmi with a replacement needed for Mohammed Siraj at No. 1, while there is also a batting vacancy due to Mohammed Razeen's Vacation.
