MUSCAT: Nobish struck a superb 61 to pave the way for STS’s sensational 4-wicket win over Oasis Water in a D Division clash at Muscat Municipality ground 2 in Amerat.
Invited to bat first, STS managed to score only 134 before being dismissed in 19.5 overs, Nobish being its top-scorer. Aneermon, Santhosh and Ratheesh took two wickets each.
Oasis Water were well on way to a successful chase when they reached 60 for 2 in 11 overs but apparently lost their way in the last seven overs when they lost a few wickets and the going got tough. Requiring 12 runs to win in the final over, they could score only 8, losing the game by 4 runs. Ansal Chalil Ali top-scored with 47, while Javed Iqbal contributed 33.
