Team Interface notched contrasting victories in the Desert Premier League Season 3 at the Fairground Oval in Dubai Academic City.

The tournament is held under auspices of Dubai Cricket Council.

While Team Interface defeated ANIB XI on Top by six runs, they beat Cricon by 128 runs.

Team Interface amassed 178 for seven against ANIB XI with Rizwan Rauf (41, 30b, 6x4, 1x6) and Hafiz Kaleem (51, 36b, 4x4, 3x6) sharing a 94-run partnership.

Chasing a stiff target, ANIB XI on Top made a terrible start with top two batsmen getting out for naught.

Mahesh Shetty (32) and Puneet Kumar (31) put their team on track with a crucial 44-run stand while a superb 36-ball 65 studded with three boundaries and five sixes from Muhammad Azhar kept alive their hopes.

But ANIB XI on Top fell agonisingly managiing 172 for eight in 20 overs.

Fahad Tariq (70, 32b, 9x4, 3x6), Hafiz Kaleem (57, 30b, 2x4, 5x6), Rameez Shehzad (44, 35b, 5x4, 1x6) and Mohd Boota (30 not out, 8b, 2x4, 3x6) were the star performers.
