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 Haithar and Mohammed Faris would plaster the bowling, the surprise package has been the form of Mohammed Fayaz at the top of the order. Add to that the solidity of Mohammed Rikaz, the threatening presence of Mohammed Dasthakir, and the hitting of Mohammed Hillal and Mohammed Razeen 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
dzcc's Frontline players haven't been as influential as the finishing recruits in most of the jet11 team. Mohammed Faris is one who has consistently delivered, but Dasthakir will mostly have to pick the out-of-form Mohammed Arafath and Mohammed Razeen. Moahmmed Nazreen 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, Rikaz, Fayaz, Faris, Haithar, Hillal, Nazreen, Riyas, Ayyub, Razeen and Nawshard.

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.

In the spotlight
JET11's fast bowlers Mohammed Zaneer has rapidly won over the crowd with his enthusiasm and tight bowling. He has had little support from the other quicks, though, with Mohammed Shifan and Mohammed Ikram. In DZCC Mohammed Haithar 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 Jumirah, Mohammed Hillal. Can he repeat that performance again?
