Results from week 6: 5 games, 4 wins.

This was yet another successful week, with 3 new players arrived, plus a huge surprise victory. But let's go through the matches, one by one:

Twenty20 3.3: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club vs. Mogambo Cricket Club[Cloudy/Flat]: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 6 wickets.

8,000 spectators had the chance to enjoy this high scoring match. Last season the Dragons got two close victories against Mogambo. They have pulled out a decent batting performance this night, scoring 190-10. All rounder Collie Bernard and young wrist spinner Ramaprasad was in good shape, in terms of wicket taking: they took 4 respectively. I wasn't too optimistic after that, but the guys did wonders with the bat: Holtbacher stood strong as he rushed into a 111 runs performance. Rasmajinan didn't stop below 50 either. The winning ball came at 18.4, 196-4 the final score.


Man of the Match: Lucas Holtbacher

Youth 2.2: Kobras vs. Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club[Sunny/Uneven]:  Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 142 runs.

This was an easy game, as expected. The home team couldn't resist the young Dragons, the opening partnership had 110 runs. Shankar scored 42, Usama Ali 110, Androo 82 and Murray did 69. 307-4. Their batting wasn't on top either, as they all gone by 34.4. No one to select from the bowlers, they all did great.

Man of the match: Pediya Androo

USA Youth Pull League: Hunkz vs. Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club[Sunny/Dry]: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 135 runs.

Another great result, against a fairly weeker squad. The club made one more step to win the title in the youth pull competition. Ijaz excelled with the bat, while all the bowlers did a good job.

Man of the Match: Pediya Androo

One Day 3.1: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club vs. Mujahedine CC [Windy/Slow]: Crni Zmajevi Cricket Club won by 2 wickets.

The game of the week, without doubt. We have played 4 games with Mujahedine last season, and we got beaten easily. Now this was the time for payback. They batted first, Dhawan and Hampson did an enormous job to keep the score low. Mujahedine was all out by 45.5, score 211-10. I felt like this is a good chance for the team to win this game. And the batters lived up to the expectations: We lost some wickets easily, but van Onselen managed to score 52, Deetman also did a nice 39 from only 23 balls. Abolhassan did the most probably, stayed on the pitch until the last over, his Strike Rate was only 55.41, but he drove the team home. The score  was 215-8. The curse against Mujahedine seems to be over.

Man of the Match: Aidan Cunningham from Mujahedine, van Onselen came 2nd.
