Hustlers lost their last league fixture in a very good run chase by the Warrior CC batsmen led by their skipper Jay who hit another undefeated century for the season.
Hustlers won the toss and elected to bat on another hot humid day. Chris and Deo got off to a solid but slow start as they went to the break at 58 for 0 wickets.
After the break they both started scoring quickly before new opener for the day, Deo was out for 46. Ravi came in next and immediately started scoring at a good rate. Chris was out for a good 75 followed shortly by Ravi for 41. Some late order hitting by Basil saw the Hustler score an impressive 209 in their 25 overs.
Hustlers then went into the field and with the wind affecting the bowlers direction, they gave away too many boundary balls early on. At the break Warriors were at 92 for 2. The remaining overs saw the Warrior batsmen scoring quickly and reached their target in the 23rd over without any alarms.
So Hustlers now find themselves sliding down the league table with 2 losses in a row after such a good start and after the Easter break they will have to regroup and pick up their season once again if they want to compete for a playoff position.
