The match was a showcase of T10 fireworks, with both sides delivering high‑impact moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Key Performances
Usman Khan (Sharjah) – 29 runs off 23 balls (4 fours, 2 sixes). His quickfire cameo anchored the chase after early setbacks, and his strike rate of 126.09 proved pivotal.
Maroof Merchant (Sharjah) – 22 runs off 9 balls (3 fours, 1 six). Merchant’s power hitting swung momentum back to Sharjah, cutting the required run‑rate dramatically.
Nabeel Aziz (Fujairah) – 2/19 in 2 overs. Aziz’s disciplined line and length restricted Sharjah’s early scoring and earned crucial wickets.
Sayam Khan (Fujairah) – 2/18 in 2 overs. Khan’s ability to break partnerships kept Sharjah under pressure throughout the chase.

Turning Points
The first turning point arrived midway through Fujairah’s innings when Nabeel Aziz dismissed the set opener, triggering a mini‑collapse that halted their momentum. The second, and perhaps more decisive, moment unfolded during Sharjah’s chase. After losing two wickets in the first two overs, Sharjah seemed destined for a sub‑90 total. Maroof Merchant’s explosive 22 off nine balls in the fourth over slashed the required run‑rate from 12.25 to just under 9, reigniting Sharjah’s hopes.
The final turning point was Usman Khan’s calculated assault in the last two overs. With the required run‑rate climbing above 12, Khan’s composure and boundary hitting delivered the final 20 runs needed, ensuring Sharjah crossed the line with two balls to spare.
