Team Reports

U15A – Wilson’s lost the toss and were asked to field. Bowling was wayward and the fielding was lacklustre, helped Rutlish to a score of 147 in their 20 overs. In reply, Raghav batted positively with 32 off 30 balls but it was Tejas that held the innings together with 33 off 34 balls. With 5 overs to go, Wilson’s still needed 50 runs to win. Eshvar joined Tejas at the crease and smashed 25 off 18 balls to win the match.  (PHOTO ATTACHED)

Kiaan (44 off 30 balls) and Aadit (26 off 20 balls) were the pick of the batters.

Shon was the outstanding bowler taking 3 wickets for 6 runs.

Viabhav (3 for 16) and Diyath (2 for 23) slowed the scoring rate and took valuable wickets to see KCS finish on 163 for 6 off 20 overs. The Wilson’s batters struggled against the spin of the opening bowler and saw the loss of 5 wickets in the first 6 overs of which Wilson’s could not recover from. Rayyan showed some resilience with a top score of 28. Wilson’s were bowled out for 88 in 17 overs.

2nd XI – Wilson’s won the toss and elected to field. After 10 overs Wilson’s were in a good position of having KCS 41 for 5. In the second 10 overs, indifferent bowling and poor fielding saw KCS hit 100 runs and finished on 141 for 8 off their 20 overs.  Shreyash (3 for 15) was the best of the bowlers. A difficult target to chase, Saisurya (46 from 37 balls) and Rishabh (35 from 30) tried their best but unfortunately, Wilson’s finished on 117 for 5 after 20 overs.

U15A – Wilson’s lost the toss and were asked to bat.  A disappointing batting display on a good wicket saw Wilson’s finish on 93 for 5 off 20 overs.

U14A – Wilson’s lost the toss and were put into field. Disciplined bowling saw Rutlish finish on 108 all out. In reply Sevin batted positively for 38 off 28 balls and it was down to Olly and Chirayu to steady the innings and saw Wilson’s home on 109 for 3 after 14 overs.
