Hustlers beat Renegades in Round 7

Hustlers put in another fine all around performance against Renegades CC yesterday in their latest SFSCL league fixture to win by 9 wickets.

Renegades won the toss and elected to bat first at the Yard with only 9 players starting in their side. Facing any team without their full squad would need a special effort from them and they got off to the worst possible start as they lost their first wicket with the first ball of their innings when Mohan comprehensively bowled their opening bat. A mini recovery by Renegades ensued but they were never scoring freely with fine bowling efforts coming from Mohan, Amar, Sanjeev, Retesh and Terry.

At the break Renegades found themselves at 60 for 6.

Once the second half of their innings recommenced, they again lost wickets and were bowled out for a low score of 74 within 16 overs. Retesh was again the top bowler for Hustlers as he snared 4 wickets for only 18 runs in his 5 overs. Sanjeev 1 for 7, Mohan 2 for 17 and Terry 1 for 5 were the other wicket takers for Hustlers.
Retesh 4 for 18
Hustlers went to bat and started off solidly with John hitting 2 boundaries early on before he was bowled for 13. Chris and Ravi saw their team home in the 13th over without any more wickets falling and cantered to an easy win. Chris finished off the innings with a 6 over deep mid wicket as his own personal score reached 51 not out.
Chris 51 not out
Next week Hustlers face the undefeated Lehigh Indians CC team in round 8. 

The Hustler players were celebrating the win well into the sunday evening as their normal routine win or lose and it was also nice to see team players from Warriors, Vikings, Hustler 1, Five Star, Guyana Heat and Wildfire at the Yard enjoying the social after the game with us.
