His fifty, along with a few handy contributions by Mashud, propelled the Holiday Cricket team score past 106.
Shabeer: "It was a special occasion. It's a young team, this win was important for us as we are looking forward for the KPL 2015 - Doha. I think the team deserves a lot of credit for the way we played. I was pretty confident of our bowlers, but at the same time we were also wary of the quality of their batsmen. We thought, if we are finding it difficult, then it is going to be tough for them as well. Those two (Siju K and Rifan) are the most solid guys we have in the team. Anybody can play, but it is how you turn up mentally on the day that counts. Important contributions from everyone overall. I am really happy for him (Siju). He's mentally feeling good. It's hard to find people with all-round abilities. If he keeps his mental strength, he can be a match-winner for FCC in the future as well."
Mujthab: "Satisfying performance, nice to start the day on a high. Siju K and Mashud Sullia set us up for the rest of the day. Conditions were a bit tacky early on. Long time since we played in the Ideal School Ground and the guys were up for the challenge. This is a big responsibility and something I'm really looking forward to. The guys have been brilliant since I have been named captain. Our new ball bowling, I think we let ourselves down a bit. Didn't quite hit our lengths so still some areas to work on."
