Hustlers 2 lost their last league game against Diamond CC played last sunday.
Both sides needed wins to progress for an outside chance of a playoff postion and Diamond triumphed with Hustlers losing too many wickets chasing a score of 154 in the first 13 overs faced.
Hustlers in the first half bowled well upfront and restricted the Diamond batters to 86 for 7 at 13 overs. They however recovered in the next 12 and finished with a respectable 154 all out.
Hustlers got off to a bad start as they lost Chris, Cliff, Rasheed, Mukesh, and Ravi with no more than 50 on the board. Some late hitting by Sanjeev and Keshore was still not enough as they fell short by 40 runs in their run chase.
Generally it was a very poor batting performance by the Hustler batsmen as they all seemed to implode when trying to hit good balls for boundaries.
Patience is what was lacking by the senior batsmen and this will have to change in their next game against Renegades if they are to see out the season positively.
Next sunday's game is against Renegades at Southridge.
