Big Picture
Jet11's bowling isn't their strongest suit, though, and they are up against one of the strongest batting outfits in the UAE tournament, Dubai Zahirians. While it was expected that Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Irshad the new commer would plaster the bowling, the surprise package has been the form of Mohammed Zahir at the top of the order. Add to that the solidity of Mohammed Siraj, the threatening presence of Mohammed Dasthakir, and the hitting of Mohammed Roshan and Mohammed Rafeek and the scale of the challenge facing Mohammed Zaneer's bowlers becomes evident. One thing the JET11 team, will remind there team of will be the inconsistency of its opponents they have alternated between victory and defeat in their past five matches against DZCC. Like Jet11 Zahirians's bowling attack is also not among the more potent ones in the last few Months, which means there could be a run-fest at the Wondreland when the two sides face off.

Team Talk
Zahirian's Frontline players haven't been as influential as the finishing recruits in most of the jet11 team. Mohammed Roshan is one who has consistently delivered, but Dasthakir will mostly have to pick the out-of-form Mohammed Nazeer and Anis-ul-Rahman. Malinga could also be needed to give the side options, especially with all the DZCC bowlers struggling.

Jet11 have to ponder whether to retain Mohammed Zaneer or to bring back Mohammed Shifan, both of whom have performed well in the Last few Months. Mohammed Rizvi hasn't had too much of an impact in the last few matches, which means Mohammed Ikram could be brought back.

DZCC: (probable) Dasthakir, Siraj, Roshan, Hillal, Shuhaib, Irshad, Rafeek, Malinga, Nazeer, Zahir and Imran.

In the spotlight
Zahirian's Medium Facer Mohammed Roshan has rapidly won over the crowd with his enthusiasm and tight bowling. He has had little support from the other quicks, though, with Mohammed Irshad and Mohammed Shuhaib. In JET11 Mohammed Zaneer has had a forgettable Sesson so far, but he's one of the game's great big-match players. Last year, he stopped the in-form in the same venue, Mohammed Hillal. Can he repeat that performance again?

Chatter
"Night Battle is a lottery, but we couldn't use that excuse anymore, so we planned every tiny aspect of the game right from what kind of shots to play after losing a wicket to how wide or slow to bowl to a batsman in the slog overs."DZCC personel advisor Mohammed Anas says the team's turnaround is no fluke.
