Hustlers won the toss and inserted Miami in to bat first on a wet batting wicket. The outfield was surprisingly dry and immediatley Miami lost both their openers after 3 overs with some good bowling by both Amar and Terry.
Miami then found themselves at 60 for 5 after 10 overs. Ameer, Amar, Terry, and Mohan all bowled with accuracy early on and stifled the Miami batsmen from scoring quickly. Miami then made a recovery as Azam and Sunil became aggresive and upped the run flow and went into the break at 107 for 5.
Soon after the resumption Ravi and Amar both took out these two dangerous batsmen as Miami managed to reach a potentially winning score of162 all out after 19 overs.
Hustlers went to bat with the old war horse Cliff and Chris and soon were punishing some wayward bowling. Cliff was very severe on anything pitched up in his zone as he reached a quick 31 before getting out caught on the boundary. The opening partership added 97 in 9 overs. Chris was doing his usual batting by blocking the good balls and putting away the bad balls as he reached 90 not out at the 13th over break with Hustlers score sitting on a pretty 133 for 1.
Chris 109 not out
Shortly after the break Chris raised his bat as he completed his century with a deep six hit over the mid wicket boundary and eventually finished on 109 not out. His match winning innings consisted of 9 sixes and 5 fours in a class performance of patience and clean hitting.
Terry 3 for 35
Generally it was a good performance by the Hustler squad as they got the win and the 6 points on offer. There is still plenty of room for improvement for the remainder of the season as the Hustler 2 squad look forward to their next game scheduled at Lauderhill Middle School against the Lehigh Indians CC this coming sunday.
The Hustler team would also like to offer our thanks to our supporters Satti, Joan, and Devya for all the work they do off field which we appreciate immensely. See you all again next week ladies.
