In the first game of today's Deonarine Cup, Zeeshan Ansari became the 2nd Cannons to pass the 1000 run milestone during his unbeaten 22 off 13 balls.
Zee has been with the club since the start, and after today's two games, he has now amassed 1048 runs at an average of 30.82 and an impressive strike rate of 134.53. He has hit six 50s with a highest score of 79. He has 547 runs at Div 1 level, 408 at Div 2 and 93 at Div 3. Most of his batting has been in the closer role, and he did this to full effect again today being not out in both innings with a high strike rate.
In the second game, Shadab Ahmed became our 3rd player to the 50 wicket milestone, after Zeeshan and Sagar Mandhan.
Shadab is also a foundation player and now has 50 wickets at 17.96 and an amazing economy rate of 5.79, with best bowling figures of 4/15. 42 of his wickets are in Division 1 and 8 in Division 2. Whether in the powerplay or the death overs, Shadab always delivers wickets and tight bowling.
