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.

The Great Wanderers Choke only highlighted the concerns that were present from the first game in last week. What if Dubai Zahirians's middle-order collapsed? Can Mohammed Rasmi and the men below him shoulder the burden?Mohammed Arafath and Mohammed Siraj ensured that situation never arose in the first game with their serene approach, change significantly once Mohammed Sanaz returns for the upcomming weeks: The lower order wouldn't remain so brittle and therefore this trial by fire is perhaps a great learning curve.If Mohammed Faris, and Mohammed Roshan, who is likely to play the next game, can get in a good knock under pressure in this week matches, it will help DZCC to build the momemtem again.

Players to watch out for…

Mohammed Rasmi He turned in a matured performance in the first game last week but threw his wicket away in the second game. The two games also showed that he is trying hard to correct his weakness. the habit of pressing that front leg too far across and having to play around it to the seamers - and he has two more games to get used to soaking up the pressure and leading the top order.

Team news 

Fayaz is likely to come in. Haithar's replacement Saflin is yet to open the score in wonderland, so Rasmi could open the batting with Mohammed Arafath. DZCC, if they choose to go in with four bowlers, could give Rikaz and Roshan to go with Hillal.

Dubai Zahirians (possible): 1 Dasthakir (capt), 2 Faris, 3 Rikaz, 4 Arafath, 5 Ziyad, 6 Roshan, 7 Siraj (wk), 8 Saflin, 9 Fayaz, 10 Rasmi and 11 Hillal.

The Big Picture

There's Zahirians's crackerjack opening combination against JET11's hostile new-ball attack; an accomplished middle order attempting to perform in the only it has underperformed in; and a richly talented seam attack, challenged primarily by its own inconsistency, striving to unsettle a batting line-up moored by two batsmen, one serene, the other substantial. And then there's the pitch - very hard, a little more damp - and the weight of history these two teams, both ancient and recent: DZCC have lost only four out of 12 short format games.

A chunk of the build-up has centered around the potential damage Mohammed Sanaz, and his partner Mohammed Siraj or Mohammed Haithar, could inflict on JET11's campaign. If they bat for a while, DZCC could make easy win; if they bat for longer,  its sure win for them, which moves the forward at rapid speed. Knock Sanaz over and it all slows down, making it easier for DZCC's opponents to control the pace. JET11 have been tailoring plans to straitjacket Sanaz.
