Sponsor Metabo had a superb start to the 25th Gulf Incon-Metabo Ramadan Cricket Tournament 2019 as they crushed Opera 11 Brothers by 95 runs at the Old Ideal Indian School’s floodlit ground.
Sajjad Ahmed Khan, Senior Manager, Sales & Marketing of Gulf Incon, inaugurated the tournament in presence of Qatar Veterans Cricket officials, players and match officials. Every night two matches are scheduled with the first one beginning at 9 pm.
After captain Shabbir elected to bat first, Metabo launched an onslaught on the rival attack and collected 33 runs for one in three powerplay overs. With Melvin, Niyamat and Osama scoring quickfire innings runs, they tallied 82 for one in six overs.
Metabo eventually finished with a demanding 152 for seven in their allotted 12 overs. Osama and Niyamat scored 24 each and Melvin and Umar contributed with 23 runs each. For Opera 11 Brothers, Aswar and Sumeda shared four wickets.
Opera 11 Brothers failed to negotiate with the disciplined bowling by Metabo and replied with only 57 in 12 overs. Afraz and Aswar were the only batsmen to reach double figures. Osama led the bowling with three scalps, while Jawad and Mohd. Gujaratri grabbed two scalps each.
For his all-round performance, Osama of Metabo was declared the man of the match.
In another match, Hanan pulled off a convincing nine-wicket romp against CCRC, who could make a modest 94 all out in 11.2 overs. Sulfan (28 in nine balls with four sixes) and Muzzamil (24 in eight balls with two sixes and as many fours) were the main scorers.
Irshad, Lithin, Siraj, Nishad and Shihad took 2 wickets each for Hanan.
In just 9.3 overs, Hanan cruised to the victory for the loss of only two players. Nishad made 23 off 10 balls with two sixes and a four and Nizam smashed 22 in eight balls, including two sixes and two boundaries.
Nishad of Hanan was picked as the man of the match.
