Match Report 27 Juli 11: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club vs Al Khobar Falcons (youth 2.2)

Another exciting match. Al Khobar is one of our rivals in the title race, so a victory here was crucial. Also the structure of the two squad is pretty much the opposite of each other, Al Khobar have very good bowlers, while our team is stronger in batting and fielding. We started our innings and Shankar departed early, then Usama Ali and Pediya Androo scored nicely. Ali lost his wicket in the 15th over, but this night was all about Androo's batting performance. He scored a century, while were lucky enough to score decently in all his partnerships. We finished with 281-5. Looked good enough for the win, but the Falcons batsmen was in good form too. Their run rate increased over by over, and our bowler's were struggling. Luckily we managed to keep our lead, and Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 27 runs.

Best performances:

1, Pediya Androo wasn't too confident with the ball, but he batted a lot better and ended up scoring 113 runs from 97 balls.
2. Hala Karim did well for Al Khobar, scoring 73 runs from 65 balls.
3. Usman Ali also proved to be useful for the Falcons: 60 runs from 56 balls is indeed great.
