This was a long awaited game between the Furries and the Dragons. We have a long history of matches, and in the last few games we had scores were pretty close, maybe even in a bit of favor of Team Furry. He also beaten YOUNG GUNNERZ in the previous round, whom devastated us in the 1st round. Conditions were Flat/Windy, and we started our innings. After 5 overs score was 50-0, Ahmed Abolhassan started strong with 30 runs. Unlucky to us, he lost his wicket on the next ball. Holtbacher also departed at 9.6, and then something magical happened with the van Onselen/Rasmajinan partnership, they stayed in all the way, scoring 129 runs combined. 230-2, I felt that's should be enough, yet Team Furry started their innings very strong too, they were at 58-1 after 5 overs. I started to be worried a bit :) Brassington batted very strongly for them, and Amalean only managed to take his wicket at 10.4. They kept on scoring greatly, their run rate was above ours till the 12th over. Then came Haider with his magic tricks, putting up a 2 runs, 2 wickets over. Brilliant. Rogers got one more in the next, Haider again in the 15th. It wasn't hard from there, Haider and Farrell managed to take the remaining 3 wickets by 19.2. Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 53 runs.
Best performers of the match:
1. Sunil Rasmajinan with 91 runs from 47 balls. The Crni Zmajevi keeper also had 3 catches.
2. Imrul Haider with 4 wickets and 4 ER. Another spectacular performance from Haider. He was the hero:)
3. Andries van Onselen 60 runs from 26 balls. In partnership with Rasmajinan, he wasn't any worse.
Man of the match for Team Furry: Livingston Brassington. The experienced batsman picked up 61 runs from just 26 balls.
