Doha Warriors batted poorly and folded up at 107 in 20 overs with Sajjad being the pick of the bowlers. He grabbed two wickets for just seven runs to send them crashing all out. Zuhaib made 36 with half a dozen fours in 33 balls.
In another match in the QCA T20 Tournament against Gulf Colours Lagaan, Yasir dominated with his blazing 88, coming off only 53 balls. He blasted two towering sixes and 14 boundaries to prop up his team to a successful chase of 148-run target for the loss of a mere three wickets.
Gulf Colours Lagaan, earlier batting first, ran up 147 for nine in 20 overs. Aziz, who was the lone batsman to resist, compiled a gritty 47 with three sixers and four hits to the rope in 26 balls. Naved bowled well and ignited the collapse with two for six runs.
