We now come to the conclusion of our coverage of cricket on Boxing Day 2023. There's heaps of cricketing action to come as we head towards the New Year - keep an eye on our tabs for our coverage of the same! This is Rajarshi Das, signing off. Good night - see you tomorrow!
Sharjah keep their winning momentum going along! They seem unstoppable at the moment - there were moments in the game today which made it look like they were in strife, but they were out of trouble in a matter of moments! The start to their run-chase today was turbulent in itself, and for one moment, it seemed like their winning streak was under serious threat. Boy, how different did the outcome turn out to be!
As it turned out, Muzamil Qasim was the only bowler to have come off with something next to his name. The others were either not assisted by their fielders, or were severely poor with their line and lengths. Asif Khan, determined to make a statement after the no-show earlier today, churned out a thoroughly entertaining display of six-hitting! No car or spectator seemed safe as the opener tore into the Ajman bowling - both quick and slow - and almost single-handedly anchored the run-chase!
Uzair Khan had his own role to play in the 3rd wicket stand, particularly towards the end, but it was the UAE international who led the way for a 10th successive win for Sharjah!
8.1 Muzamil Qasim to Asif Khan, FOUR! Sharjah make it 10 out of 10 with a 10 out of 10 batting performance! Short of a length on off, Asif sits back and crunches this one off his back foot towards mid wicket, beating the man out there with ease!
Muzamil Qasim (1-0-6-2) is back into the attack
Looks like Asif wants to get this done by himself! He first denies a run off the fourth delivery, and now retains strike!
