Game Report                                                                                                                     

I am happy to inform you all that we came away with another great and convincing victory against the Bombers on Saturday 15^th November.

It was a great win for us all and the atmosphere was very electrifying, since this was the game many had anticipated from the start.

How it happened…

Bombers won the toss and elected to bat first. Early wickets and precise bowling were the key and strategy set out again.

With many players missing and turning up late, the beginning of the game was quite bad for us as others were needed to be replaced and some required to take the field for a short amount of time. A special thanks to Mumtaz, Shabir and Ali Faiyaz Uncles for temporary replacing players on the field and also to Salman Jasani and Abbas Faiyaz who played throughout the entire match.

Knowing of how much of a strong batting line-up the Bombers had, we knew as a team that restricting them to a low score would be vital for victory.

The scorecard…

                                                            Hoppers Bombers       8/107   16 Overs

Bowling Figures:

Raza Hussain – 3/19 (4 Overs)             Extras: 29

Akbar Shah – 1/27 (4 Overs)

Imran Abbas – 2/39 (4 Overs)

Haider Naqvi – 1/22 (4 Overs)

Set with the target of 108 Runs for victory, the team was very proud of their efforts on the ground especially with the new talent of Imran Abbas taking 2 wickets and a superb run out on his debut bowling match. Also with the young and very talented Abbas Faiyaz who took a great catch at square leg and stopped many runs and showed great determination and enthusiasm. Jaffar Mehdi’s catch in the deep which was very well judged and taken was another great highlight. But everyone played their role precisely and perfectly on the field and should all be very proud of themselves.

 Alamdar XI    3/108   15.3 Overs

Bowling Figures:

Ali Fayaz – 0/27 (4 Overs)                               Extras: 34

Imran. M – 0/29 (3.3 Overs)

Aqeel – 1/32 (4 Overs)

Adeel – 1/20 (4 Overs)

 The match itself was very exciting and became tense many times as the game was decided in the final over. At one stage, Alamdar XI needed 60 runs in the last 6 Overs, but Akbar’s superb batting and a handful of wides by the opposition led the team home knocking in an unbeaten 49. Akbar also claimed the Man of the Match.  

So after a bad start to the tournament and a very strong finish towards the end, this is how the table finished…

1st - LIONS

2nd - ALAMDAR XI

3rd - BOMBERS

4th - TIGERS
