The Final match of the 1st Boulevard Mall Ramzan Tournament 2017 saw Omar CC come head to head with the Rangoonwala Cricket Club, on Wednesday, at the Hill Park Ground.
Rangoonwala CC batted first and were off to a decent start, with opener, Asad Baig scoring a confident 17 runs, to initiate the run flow for his team. Owais Rehmani took on from where his teammate Assad left off, to score a fantastic 63 runs of just 41 balls, thereby laying the platform for a competitive total. Wasim Ali concluded the innings with an 8 ball cameo of 14 runs to propel the Rangoonwala CC to a grand total of 157 runs. The Omar CC bowlers bowled well throughout the innings with Nasir Khan and Asghar Shah taking 3 wickets each for 30 and 22 runs respectively.
Omar CC, chasing 158 runs in 20 overs, were off to a flying start with both openers striking the ball cleanly to all parts of the ground. Ehsan Ali scored a quick 26 runs in 18 balls while fellow opener Fauz-ul-Hasan contributed with a solid 32 runs in 27 balls. However, Rafay Safdar and Wasim Ali momentarily got their team back in the game by dismissing the openers. In spite of this, the Omar CC batsmen, especially Khushdil Shah and Mohammad Waqas continued where the openers had left off to ensure a win for their team. Khushdil Shah top scored with 50 runs of 34 balls while Mohammad Waqas made 47 runs in 35 balls.
Omar Cricket Club won the final of the 1st Boulevard Mall Ramzan Tournament by 8 wickets.
