Hustlers 2 faced Lehigh Indians in Round 2 of the SFSCL and came away with a victory that had it's moments of interest.
Lehigh batted first and were scoring at a good rate early on as they took advantage of some erratic bowling by the Hustler bowling team. Amar went down injured early after bowling his second over as he sprained his ankle.
At this point Hustlers knew that other bowling options were needed and found Reetesh bowling for the first time. His 5 overs cost 47 runs but he grabbed 2 good wickets. Terry once again came good as he finished with 3 for 15 in 4 overs.
Deo playing his first game for Hustlers bowled well in parts as he netted 4 wickets for 38 runs.
Lehigh closed their innings at 175 all out in 22 overs.
Hustlers got off to a tremendous start as Cliff and Chris scored at well over 10 an over from the beginning. Cliff was first out for 37 with the Hustler score sitting on 82.
Ravi and Chris went to the break not out with the Hustler score at 114 for 1. Chris 64 not out and Ravi 11 not out.
As the game went on they both scored easily with singles and boundaries before Ravi was caught behind for 21. They both had added 67 for the second wicket. Chris completed his second consecutive century shortly afterwards before he was caught out for 102.His innings consisted of 10 sixes and 5 fours as he saw his team reach the winning post.
A mini collapse ensued as the middle order for Hustlers came and went before Basil and Derek saw their team home in the 23rd over.
It was another good performance by the Hustler squad to get their win but a lot of work still needs to be done especially with the bowling accuracy.
Next week we host Renegades again to be played at Lauderhill Middle School.
