Khalid Shah and Fayyaz Ahmed both scored hundreds to fire Bukhatir XI into the final of the 48th Bukhatir League on Wednesday night.
The twin centurions laid the platform for an imposing total of 358 for six from 50 overs at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
Atlas Foundation were blown away in reply, as they crumbled to 117 all out in the 30th over, giving Bukhatir XI a landslide 241-run win.
Their demise was brought about by the 15-year-old spinner Ayan Afzaal Khan, who took five for 24.
Bukhatir XI will meet InterGlobe Marine in the final of the UAE’s leading domestic competition on Friday night.
InterGlobe Marine booked their place in the final when they eased past a Phoenix Medicine side that included nine players who are involved with the UAE national team in the first semi-final.
Hazrat Luqman took five wickets and Rahul Sharma, the former India leg-spinner, took three as Phoenix were bowled out for 191.
Mohammed Wasim then continued his blistering form from the Abu Dhabi T10 as he made 114 in 69 balls to make short work of the run chase.
