Sharjah: UAE vice-captain Mohammad Tauqir inspired the UAE Nationals team to an emphatic victory over Emirates Cricket Board Green in the fourth edition of the Al Dhaid Ramadan tournament, organised by the Sharjah Cricket Council.

Tauqir, who once top-scored with a half century for the UAE in an Asia Cup against India, sparkled with bat and ball. He took four wickets for 19 runs and cracked an unbeaten 39 to guide his side to victory.

Tauqir’s spell restricted ECB Green to 115 for 9 before UAE Nationals won in 17.4 overs for the loss of just three wickets.

In another match, Interface Transworld pulled off a thrilling one-wicket victory over Eurocon Alubond in a match dominated by bowlers.

In the 11th Dulsco Ramadan Cricket Twenty20, being played in Dubai, Jashanmal entered the quarter-finals by beating Uniforge Bhatkal by six wickets in a Group A match.
