Raees Ahmed: Proud moment for me to play for this team. Just wanted to be positive, that was the plan for the team too. We felt that the wicket was good, so if we batted positively could get this target!

Time for the Post-match Presentation!
MATCH OVER!
Fujairah won by seven wickets!
Dubai 123/3 (10) Fujairah 126/3 (8.4)
Raees Ahmed 80* (27) | Salman Khan 16 (10)
Rahul Bhatia 2-0-24-1 | Nilansh Keswani 1-0-14-1
What a stunning chase from Fujairah largely thanks to Raees Ahmed's unbeaten 80 off just 27 balls. Fujairah were put under huge pressure by Dubai as they posted 123/3 on the board. Dubai also got a good start with the ball as Nilansh Keswani had Hameed Khan stumped in the second over. However, Salman Khan was joined by Raees Ahmed and the latter started to smash all the Dubai bowlers.
Dubai managed to take their second wicket only in the fifth over when Rahul Bhatia took a terrific return catch to dismiss Salman. Nasir Faraz also departed in the next over off Muhammad Farooq's bowling. Yet, Raees carried on business as usual with the big-hitter reaching his fifty and motoring on even after that. The skipper Umair Ali Khan just rotated the strike and witnessed Raees single-handedly bring up Fujairah's win with eight balls still left in the innings!
