MUSCAT: Match-winning all-round show by hugely talented Adeel Abbas powered Muscat Cricket Coaching Centre (MCCC) to a 4-wicket win over Indian School Wadi Kabir (ISWK) in a Junior League 50-over Under-19 match at OC turf 1 in Al Amerat on Monday, making it a memorable week for MCCC sides.


ISWK failed to put a fighting total on the board, folding up for a disappointing 89 in 30 overs. MCCC captain Adeel picked up 3 for 13, while Nihaal Poojari and Jeel Tanna took two wickets each.


Leading from the front, Adeel excelled with the bat too, scoring a vital 39 off 25 as MCCC sealed victory in the 18th over, scoring 92 for 6. Siddh Mehta and Amanpreet Singh Siraj claimed two wickets each.
