In the 2nd match of the day, Friends CC played against All Brothers CC. The weather was still sunny for the 15:00 start. ABCC won the toss and put FCC into bat first.
FCC started their innings in strong fashion. Maintaining a good run rate throughout their innings, and with some help in field by way of a few dropped catches, allowed for a good spectacle with the batsmen taking centre stage. B. Butt amassed 46 off only 32 balls, while M. Kazim notched up 53* off just 37 deliveries. N. Sohail kept up the run rate with his 22 of 21 balls, after which he decided to be retired out, just short of the allotted 20 overs, bringing FCC’s total up to 170/4 after 20 overs. The bowlers struggled to contain the FCC batsmen, with only A. Ijaz picking up 2 wickets for 24 runs in his 4 overs, and M. Sajid picking up 1 wicket for 27 runs in his 3 overs.
ABCC, requiring just above 8.5 runs per over to win the match, didn’t get off to the greatest start, having R. Javeed (0) caught after only facing 2 deliveries. ABCC struggled to match the run rate, and with patches of rain looming, they started losing wickets on a regular basis. The only 2 batsmen making any noticeable contribution were Y. Ali (38) and M. Irfan (23). FCC looked strong in the field, taking 5 catches to support some good bowling. M Quasar, K. Izaz and M. Kazim all took 2 wickets a piece, helping FCC bowl out ABCC for 110 runs.
T20: ACC - Mouraria ReportThursday, 28 April 2011 12:48 | | |
After almost a week of rain, there was concern that the inaugural round of the new T20 competition might not have started as planned. Thankfully Sunday morning brought with it plenty of sunshine, which helped dry out the ground. After a short delay, the first game of the day got underway. The first match of the day was between the experienced ACC side and Mouraria. Mouraria won the toss and decided to bat first. After losing S.M. Uzzaman relatively early on, the Mouraria side seemed to be starting to stabilize with D.T. Gazi (19) and A. Razzak (11). However, due to a slow run rate and the increasing pressure from the opposition, they began risking more and more and soon fell. The slow run rate also put more pressure on the incoming batsmen, and Mouraria lost 4 more wickets at regular intervals to muster up 81/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Only R. Rahman managed a respectable 15* off 14 balls. ACC bowled well, especially I. Mehdi, taking 3 wickets for only 11 runs in 3 overs. ACC, only requiring just above 4 runs an over, paced themselves well in search of a comfortable win. S. Bilal (17), P. Singh (21) and Z. Ali (17) were the only wickets to fall. Maintaining a run rate of just under 7.5 an over, N. Butt (15*) off only 8 balls, and R. Khaliq (2*) wrapped up the game for ACC midway through the 12th over. This gave ACC a comfortable win by 7 wickets. Indoor League 10th Round ReportTuesday, 26 April 2011 12:49 | | |
