Hustlers beat Warriors in a rout

Hustlers put on a master display of cricket as they faced Warriors in Round 2 of the SFSCL today.

Game action.

Hustlers 2 v Warriors

Hustler captain Basil won the toss and decided to bat first and with early losses of Chris, Cliff, and Mohan within the first 13 overs faced, they were still sitting pretty at 76 for 3 at the break.

The next 12 overs saw some aggresive batting by the Hustler middle order as firstly Ravi 38, Basil 37no, and Sookraj 44 all displayed fine stroke play as they pushed the Hustler end of innings score to 193 for 7. Sookraj played the innings of the day as he hit 4 sixes in his short innings and with Basil 37no, they put on 73 runs in 6 entertaining overs.

Warriors got off to the worse start imaginable at the beginning as they lost their first 3 batsmen for only 18 runs on the board. Amar 2 for 8 and Ravi 5 for 24 including a hattrick were the chief destroyers with the ball as they saw the Warriors batsmen fail to score quickly and were soon struggling to stay in the game.

Team huddle at the break.

The rest of the Warriors innings came to a premature end as Mohan bowling in his first over finished off the innings with 3 quick wickets to end up with figures of 3 for 7 and leave Warriors total at 56 all out in 11 overs faced.

In all it was a top performance firstly by the Hustler batters and then was backed up by the Hustler bowlers as they secured a comprehensive victory to avenge the loss they suffered at the hands of Warriors last season.

After game munch.

Ravi once again put in a top all round performance with both bat and ball as he led his side to a brilliant victory. Surprisingly, he still classes himself as a batter who can bowl at bit when conditions favour him. The rest of us players tend to agree with him and his thoughts at the moment.

Next sunday Hustler 2 CC entertain Lehigh Indians at Lauderhill Middle School.
