Crescent met Bons on a humid night at the Links .... which surprised everyone including the umpire who had brought a woolly hat & gloves for the occasion!

 

Bons Captain Adnan called correct and elected to bat on what can only be described as a rough piece of grass. Bons opened with Fazal Awan & Shakeel Ahmed, Awan was dispatched back to the hut without troubling the scorer, Shakeel too was sent packing, both openers top edging looping catches to gully from the bowling of V Khanna. In came Karan Anand who had 2 ducks to his name from previous games at the Links, he graciously added a 3rd duck. In came Danyal, out went Danyal, it was like a revolving door of Bons batsmen. The score sat at 2 runs for 4 wickets from 2 overs!

 

Crescent met The Dons on a chilly night at Groats Road for their re-scheduled Oxy Cup Quarter Final match up.

 

Dons Captain Rajneesh won the toss and elected to bat first. Dons opened with Ashfaq & Maayank, with only the second ball of the game, Maayank skied one to short mid on, where Crescent Captain Umair Quraishi spilled the catch, but, ended up running Maayank out anyway, Umair gave out a big sigh of relief!

 

Last night both QF's of the Oxy Cup were supposed to be played.

 

Shell CC v Knightriders was played at Allan Park, in a low scoring game. Knights set Shell a total of 99, which was reached by Shell in the final over ..... so it was close! Have not seen a total above 120 at Allan Park this season!

 

As for the other QF between Dons v Crescent, it seems it only rained at Groats Road, so they will have to play a re-scheduled game on Monday 24th June, hopefully at the same venue.

 

Knightriders are back in the AECL ...... making it an even league of 6 teams ..... more to follow ....
