An utterly dominating performance from Riyaan CC this. Posted a total that was just a run short of the highest-ever innings total in the Cyprus T10 tournament. The only thing that would have kept the Fighters in the game was a huge start.
With only 4 runs off the first over, they were practically out of the game. The feeling did not help the batters a tiny bit as they kept going back to the pavilion. They failed to put up a respectable total on the board. They ended up losing by a bigger margin than what they scored. The only positive for them in the first innings, skipper Benojir Ahmed with 3 wickets, was also their only positive in the second innings.
He scored 48 runs off 31 balls including 5 fours and 3 sixes. The next highest was Al Tasmin with 15 runs to his name off 6 deliveries. Sibtal Hassnain picked 2/5 and led the 88-run victory with the help of Ali Raza (1/7), Ram Jaishwal (1/19) and Atta Ullah (1/18).
