The team travelled to Scotland on this Windy day. This was the debut match for our new finger spinner, Nikhil Dhawan. The groundsmen prepared a slow pitch, and the Dragons started their innings. The two openers this time, Lucas Holtbacher and Andries van Onselen did a decent job, they went to an amazing 161 runs partnership. Later it turned out to be the key for the team, as all of our other batsmen got out early: the 3rd best effort came from wicketkeeper Rasmajinan, who finished the game with 28 runs. All out came at 47.1, Crni Zmajevi finished with a decent 257-10. I had some doubts if we can defend the score, especially when the opening partnership of Batmo's rushed a century. They were above the RRR for long, until our banlgadeshi spinning pair came on the pitch: Haider & Dhawan took 6 wickets combined, with low ER. Collie Bernard took the remaining 2 wickets with ease. Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 66 runs.
The game turned out to be easier, the guys had a decent performance tonite, especially with the ball. Openers performed as they should every single game, and we grabbed a nice victory over a respected opponent. Dhawan seems to be a bright star for the future, they looked absolutely lethal with Haider.
