28th November 2024: The Delhi Bulls stormed to a decisive victory over the Chennai Brave Jaguars, propelled by a stellar all-round performance from Shadab Khan and a bowling masterclass by local UAE talent Muhammad Rohid. The Jaguars set a modest target of 98 runs in 10 overs, a score the Bulls charged down with precision to secure a commanding six-wicket win.

The Chennai Brave Jaguars struggled to build momentum, with Shadab Khan’s economical 1/14 in his single over and Muhammad Rohid’s clinical 3/16 in two overs strangling their batting lineup. Rohid’s ability to find breakthroughs, including a crucial wicket off a good length delivery, kept the Jaguars’ scoring in check. The team limped to 97/5, unable to capitalize on key moments against the Bulls’ disciplined attack.

In response, the Bulls launched their chase with authority. Openers James Vince and Tom Banton stitched together a blazing 74-run partnership, setting a solid foundation. Vince smashed 42 off 19 balls, with five fours and a six, showcasing control and precision. Banton chipped in with a quick 30 off 16, including three fours and a six. Despite a brief hiccup with a couple of quick dismissals, the Bulls’ composure remained unshaken.

It was Shadab Khan who sealed the deal, smashing an unbeaten 20 off just six deliveries to wrap up the chase in style. His finishing flair ensured the Bulls hunted down the low target with ease, further underlining their dominance.

The match was a testament to the Bulls’ strength in both departments, with Muhammad Rohid’s breakout bowling spell and Shadab Khan’s all-round brilliance stealing the spotlight. The Jaguars’ total, akin to a red cloth, only incited the Bulls to charge harder and claim their resounding victory.

Kusal Perera scripted the joint-fastest half century in Abu Dhabi T10 history, recording a 15-ball half century for New York Strikers to help his side get a massive win in Abu Dhabi T10 on Sunday at Zayed Cricket Stadium. Chasing 112, the left-handed Sri Lankan batter smashed an unbeaten 74 runs in 27 balls with 6 fours and 7 sixes in his innings.

It was a one-man show from Perera who started attacking bowling attack from the first itself, not allowing any respite. Supported on the other end by Pakistan’s Asif Ali, Perera finished off the chase in just 7.5 overs, as Strikers won the match by 9 wickets.

Earlier, Northern Warriors rode on an unbeaten 46 off 17 balls from Sherfane Rutherford to post a decent total of 111/3 in 10 overs on a slow surface. Finn Allen contributed with 30 off 15 balls. New York Strikers skipper and spinner Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowler, leading the team from the front by getting two wickets while only giving away 16 runs in his two overs.

If your car is still sporting National Day decals, it’s time to take them off. Sharjah Police have announced that all vehicle owners must remove their UAE National Day celebration stickers by Saturday, December 6, and those who miss the deadline will face violations.

The reminder follows a crackdown during the 54th Eid Al Etihad celebrations, where authorities impounded 106 vehicles and nine motorbikes for dangerous and irresponsible behaviour on the roads.

According to Sharjah Police, the violations included:

Creating loud noise and disturbing residents
Driving recklessly and endangering others
Operating vehicles without a valid licence

Police officials urged motorists to celebrate responsibly and avoid turning festivities into safety risks.

However, there has been a shift in decorating trends this year. Many residents opted for cleaner, simpler, more elegant designs to showcase their UAE pride ahead of the long weekend, and demand for custom decals surged.

Authorities are now urging residents to ensure all celebratory stickers and decorations are removed by the set deadline to keep roads safe and avoid penalties.
