Rufi Real Estate to face Yogi Group in Al Dhaid final

Rohan Mustafa produced a tidy all-round performance to steer Rufi Real Estate to a five-wicket victory over Al Futtaim Panatech in the second semifinal of the second Al Dhaid Ramadan T-20 Tournament, organised by the Sharjah Cricket Council, for the Conmix Cup at Al Dhaid Cricket Village.

Rufi Real Estate will take on Yogi Group in what promises to be a keenly contested final on Saturday.

Rufi Real Estate seized the early initiative when they bowled out Al Futtaim Panatech for a modest 114 in 19.3 overs. Shoiab did most of the damage, taking three for 14 while Imran Khan and Rohan Mustafa snared two each to unsettle the Al Futtaim Panatech batting.

Harkirath was the only batsman to offer some resistance scoring a patient 33 off 50 balls which included two fours and one six.

Rufi Real Estate, in reply, built their innings around Sharjeel Khan (35 off 32 with four fours) and Tariq (30 off 36). Rohan Mustafa rounded off a fine all-round performance, scoring 21 off 22 balls with three fours as Rufi Real Estate overhauled Al Futtaim Panatech’s total with three balls to spare.
