Panoli was too hot to handle, stealing the show with a quick-fire half-century as Modern Heros retained their U13 ADIB NSL title with a comfortable nine-wicket victory over DPS Sharjah.

The opener was in fine form, hitting five sixes and six boundaries en route to his unbeaten 57 off just 23 balls as Heros reached their target of 77 in just six overs.
