Muscat: Manis Azad International Cricket Team won the inaugural T12 Cricket Tournament organised by Al Hail Cricket Club here recently.
In a keenly-contested final, Manis Azad defeated Denmark Cricket Team to win the top honours.
Al Hail Cricket Club organised the innovative cricket tournament as part of their efforts to contribute to the development of cricket in the Sultanate. The concept has been inspired by a similar tournament “Adelaide T12 Cricket Nations Cup 2016” held recently in Australia by the Darren Lehmann Cricket Academy.
Ushendra Singh, General Manager of National Paints Oman, handed over the trophies in the presence of Moula Baksh, Chairman of the Al Hail Cricket Club.
Moula Baksh said: “It is Al Hail Cricket Club's endeavour to introduce new cricket formats in the country to improve cricket level as well as bring the local cricket closer to international standards.”
Moula Bakhsh promised more such innovative cricket activities in future which will be beneficial to many aspiring local cricket teams.
The organisers thanked the main sponsor National Paints Oman for their valuable support in successfully organising the tournament.
