So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Sooryanarayanan Sesha. Do stay to Sportskeeda for a lot more matches including the big IPL Eliminator clash between Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants. There are also other tournaments covered like the St Lucia T10 and the T20 Blast. Until next time, it is a warm good-bye
Rohid Khan is the Player of the Match for his outstanding returns of 3/5 off 2 overs, including a maiden. Here's what he has to say: First of all thanks to the Almighty for such a good performance. Umair told us that we should try to get them out as low as possible and that would put pressure on the new batters. I'm enjoying with everyone in the team. Everyone entertains us all in the team.
MATCH OVER!
Fujairah won by nine wickets!
Emirates Blues 59/9 (10) Fujairah 60-1 (5)
Raees Ahmed 23* (12) | Hameed Khan 21 (10)
Sabir Rao 2-0-21-1
What a dominant performance from Fujairah as they register their third consecutive victory in this tournament. It was the bowlers who set up this win as they restricted Emirates Blues to a paltry 59/9. That gave the Fujairah openers the license to thrill and Hameed Khan definitely did so in the Powerplay. Sabir Rao eventually bounced out Hameed in the third over but Raees Ahmed came in and took over in style. In the end, Salman Khan finished the game in style by pumping a six over long-on as Fujairah stamped their authority on this tournament

4.6 Akasha Tahir to Salman Khan, SIX! FINISHES IT IN STYLE! Right in the slot around the off stump and that's a gift for Salman. He clears his front leg and launches it high over mid-wicket to power it way back into the stands to draw the curtains down on a highly one-sided contest. Domination from start to finish as Fujairah win by 9 wickets with 30 deliveries to spare!
4.5 Akasha Tahir to Raees Ahmed, low full toss at the stumps. Raees clears his front leg and drags it to deep mid-wicket for a single
4.4 Akasha Tahir to Raees Ahmed, SIX! MASSIVE! Too short around the off stump and Raees cashes in. He rocks back and powers it flat over mid-wicket to send it soaring over the fence for six
4.3 Akasha Tahir to Salman Khan, full and angling into leg stump. Salman's head falls over as he gets across and shovels it out to the left of short fine leg for a single
4.2 Akasha Tahir to Raees Ahmed, back of a length delivery just outside the off stump. Raees rocks back to heave it on the up to deep square leg for a single
4.1 Akasha Tahir to Raees Ahmed, SAFE! Very full on off stump as Raees shovels out a swing over mid-wicket. Drops safe of deep mid-wicket though as the batters race back for the second
Akasha Tahir, right-arm medium-fast, is into the attack
4.1 Akasha Tahir to Raees Ahmed, WIDE! Slants a back of a length delivery down the leg-side. Well taken by the keeper with a dive as the bowler has to reload
Slightly unlucky for Alishan Sharafu as a couple of mis-hits from Raees Ahmed didn't carry to the deep cover fielder. Nine runs off the over

0/9
3.6 Alishan Sharafu to Raees Ahmed, full outside the off stump. Raees opens the face and lofts it up and over the cover point region as the boundary rider runs in. Drops short of him as the batters cross over to retain strike
3.5 Alishan Sharafu to Raees Ahmed, SAFE! Full outside the off stump as Raees lofts it up and over the covers. The fielders converge in the deep but it drops safely as the batters run a brace
3.4 Alishan Sharafu to Raees Ahmed, FOUR! WOW! That is sheer power from Raees! Dug short outside the off stump as it takes extra bounce and angles in. Raees stands tall to swat it down the ground and dead straight past the bowler along the carpet for four
3.3 Alishan Sharafu to Raees Ahmed, banged in short at the stumps as it gets high on Raees who stands tall looking to pull it around the corner. Slants down to the keeper though along the line of leg stump
3.2 Alishan Sharafu to Raees Ahmed, STIFLED APPEAL! The bowler isn't interested though and only the keeper went up. Back of a length delivery with plenty of width. Raees throws his wrists at it but fails to connect as the ball beats the bat to the keeper
3.1 Alishan Sharafu to Salman Khan, back of a length delivery outside the off stump. Salman backs away and opens the face to run it down to the right of third man for a single
