Planet Cricket Dominated, but Lost.
One of the Most shocking experience had hit Planet cricket camp today.
Planet Cricket were cruising to Victory, No Collapse, 6 Run to get in the
Final Over, with 9 Wickets in hand and they fell at the hands of Botswana,
Losing by 2 Runs. First 2 balls they gotten 3 runs, but failed to get the
other 3 runs in four balls.
PC won the toss and put in Botswana to bat first. Botswana were in early
Problem, Losing R Wright for 0 LBW by Twentyten, R Saleem 1 was Bowled
by Red, C Jones Bowled by Twentyten for 3, K Griffiths was caught by Aditya
off the bowling of Red by Red for 5, C Fulton LBW by Red for 6 and M Perkins
LBW by Puneethkumar for 15.
Botswana were struggling at 44 for 6 in the 15th over,until J Bailey and J fox
posted a 72 Run partnership.
in the 29th over Red toke out J Bailey for 34 Run, ending a very good
partnership.
Red then got his 5 wicket haul, as Hemrajani toke a good catch behind the
wicket getting rid of C Wedge. Not far away Puneethkumar clean bowled J
fox, who made a good fighting knock of 51.
with 19 Over to go, Botswana Tailender toke Planet Cricket Bowlers Apart.
Both Red and Puneethkumar had already bowled out their over, Leaving
Twentyten with, A Khalid to bowl the rest of over, along with T Barnes and
Andrew.
J Ahmed and R Frank, carry Botswana score from 123 to 222.
R Frank made 34 runs from 47 balls, while J Ahmed made 63 runs from 70
balls.
223 Run everyone though it would be an easy win, but unfortunely they
made this total look hard to get.
Planet Cricket Got another great start as M Hamza and Z Ikram made a
great opening stand of 168 runs, M Hamza 76run and Z Ikram 83 runs. In
the 38 Overs, which mean they needed 55 runs in 72 balls, and they just
made a mess of it, without losing any feature wicket. Hamza made 100 runs
off 147 while Dongre scored 26 off 34.
it?s really a disappointed game for Planet Cricket, after Dominated previous
games, just lost it.
Botswana needed just 4 balls of the last over to secure and unexpected
victory.
Next Match PC is going to Face another Team who made a decent score
against them in Div 6. Gibraltar.
