Tigo cricket fine tunes progresses further
By Hameed Sheriff
A fine knock of 63 by Qureshi Karimjee, assisted with some bowling by Hussein Khanbhai (UPA), saw Annadil Ezzi sail through their game against TCA development Team, a target of 173 runs was just too much for the boys.
TCA Development boys youth Enoko Yusufu was a new find for them, as his line and length bowling was at time just too good.
The second game for the day, saw Kilimeru beat the mighty A TO Z team by 9 wickets. A spit fire 48 by Tinson, enabled A TO Z score 144, a target that was completed in the 19th over by Kilimeru.
Iqbal Butt and Mohamedraza Lalji’s good batting coupled with Iqbal Butt’s 3 wickets for 17 and Abbas Lalji’s 2 wickets for 18, resulted in Kilimeru’s win over A TO Z.
Ajay Patiyal of Expats spins his team to victory against AMMA.
Rain affected third game of the day on the same A TO Z field, saw Lion Kings defeat TCA Development by 112 runs. Dr Vino Raj smashed 69 runs in just 31 balls, which included 7 sixes, and was supported well by Parth Joshi who scored 34 runs. Rashid Yaha and Yusuf Hashim bag a wicket each for TCA Development.
At the FRC / TGT ground, a masterly knock of 103 runs, with 13 fours and 3 sixes, by Ajay Patiyal helped register one more win for Expats as they beat AMMA by 76 runs.
Ajay was again good with the ball taking 3 wickets, while Mahmood Ahed and Udaini took two each. Joseph Abraham scored 48 runs for AMMA, but was not assisted by any of his team mates.
Wanderers in the afternoon game shortened their stay on the field by first bowling Swamibapa for just 74 runs, and then thumping the required runs in 7.3 overs. Russel Hasting’s 5 wickets for 11 runs and Ian Coulquhoun’s 3 wickets for 6 runs were the cause of Swamibapa’s small score. In form batsman Mike Becknor scored 49 runs in 22 balls to see the wanderers through.
Two more Sundays will have action pack cricket for all fans, before the semi finals that are due on 4th March 2012.
