Carlton Cricket Club get bowled out for 137, on the same score as the Easterns achieved in the previous game. However, Carlton Cricket Club got bowled out and the Easterns didn't. But, could it mean the same fate lies for the Carlton Cricket Club as it did for the Easterns? Perhaps, but it will be a fun chase to watch nonetheless.
