Friday
40 Overs vs Scotia Strikers CC - batting first and eyeing a big score on a fast outfield, our top order didn't make the most of the opportunity as we fell to 6/103 in the 23rd over. Skipper Zeeshan Ansari showed his best form of the season with 58 from 59 balls. He was joined by Kevin Tuvar (35 off 36), as they put on 58 for the 7th wicket before Zee's run out again halted our momentum. This was the first of 3 quick wickets, before Sagar Mandhan and Shadab Ahmed combined to put on 23 for the last wicket and lift us to 193.
It would take 9 overs and 36 runs to break through the Strikers opening pair, but this was the start of a mini collapse of 3 wickets for 4 runs. Arif Hussein doing the bulk of the damage here with 2 wickets. Another partnership developed, and it appeared like Strikers were on cruise control in their chase, before another good period for us, led by 3 quick wickets from Shadab, left Strikers 7 down needing 49 with 10 overs left. Their next pair added 39 of these, and all seemed lost, before Tommy Upton gave us a faint hope with our 8th wicket. Enter Sagar, who conceded 6 runs before claiming our 9th wicket. 4 runs left for Strikers to win. Next ball would be a double, before Sagar tempted their last man into a big shot only to see his off stump flicked the ball, a one run win for us! The win sees us finish the group stage at 3 wins and 1 loss, and awaiting future results to see if we qualify for the final. Scorecard
