Mohammed Azam smashed a scintillating unbeaten century to guide Eurocon Alubond CC to a brilliant six-wicket victory over Nucaf Tellicherry in a semifinal match of the 38th Bukhatir League ‘A’ Division Tournament, organised by the Sharjah Cricket Council, at the Sharjah stadium.

The hard-hitting batsman clubbed 12 fours and four sixes in his stroke-filled 151 not out as Eurocon overhauled Tellicherry’s competitive score of 286 in 43.2 overs.

Mohammed Afzal and Sameer Nayak took two wickets each, but Eurocon remained unruffled and executed their game plan with precision.

Earlier, Nucaf Tellicherry had built their innings around Ali Asad who slammed fluent 101 off 66 balls which included four fours and 10 sixes.

Amjad Ali (50 off 69 balls), Yousuf Butt (40 off 26 balls) and Prajakat Chauvan (27 off 37 balls) were also among the runs, but all their efforts, in the end, were not good enough to prevent Eurocon from running away with a comfortable victory.
