Sharjah, UAE – December 27, 2024 – Under the evening lights of the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium, cricket fans witnessed another high-voltage clash in the Emirates D10 2024 as Emirates Red (EMR) locked horns with Sharjah (SHA) in Match 35 of the tournament. In typical T10 fashion, the match was packed with sixes, quickfire fifties, and thrilling moments until the very last over.
Toss and Early Drama
Sharjah won the toss and elected to bowl first – a decision clearly influenced by recent chasing trends at Sharjah. The pitch looked flat and full of runs, with the short boundaries promising an explosive first innings. And Emirates Red did not disappoint.
Emirates Red Batting Highlights
EMR came out all guns blazing. Their openers set the tone right away, taking on the Sharjah bowlers with confidence and calculated aggression. The standout innings came from Muhammad Fazil, who played a scorching knock of 48 off 19 balls, peppered with 5 sixes and 3 fours.
Supporting him well was Rameez Shahzad, the experienced campaigner who added a quick 27 off 13 deliveries before falling to a brilliant catch in the deep. Despite a few hiccups in the middle, EMR posted a strong total of 121/4 in their allotted 10 overs.
Sharjah’s Chase: Close, but Not Close Enough
Sharjah’s chase started in trouble as they lost opener Khalid Shah early to a sharp delivery from EMR pacer Fayyaz Ahmed. However, Renjith Mani tried to resurrect the innings with a composed 33 off 18, playing the role of the anchor.
What really brought the drama was the late blitz from Mohammad Nadeem, who smashed 20 runs off just 7 balls. At one point, Sharjah needed 25 off the last two overs – very much within striking range.
But EMR held their nerve. The penultimate over by Adithya Shetty went for just 7 runs, leaving too much to do in the final over. Sharjah eventually ended at 109/7, falling short by 12 runs.
