Hustlers beat Guyana Heat

The penultimate game in the SFSCL for Hustlers saw them win in a close encounter with Guyana Heat CC yesterday to claim another 6 points.

A little pre match get together.

Hustlers won the toss and put Guyana Heat into bat first on a glorious day of sunshine at the Yard. Early wickets were taken by the Hustlers bowling attack before Guyana Heat started scoring freely to all parts of the ground and reach 73 for 5 at the break. The ground fielding and catching was very poor for Hustlers to add as they put down 4 crucial catches.

Another 70 odd runs were scored in the second half of their innings to see their total reach 143 all out with Ravi taking 3 wickets for 15, Sanjeev 3 for 34, and Amar 2 for 15 the best of the Hustlers bowling effort.

Hustlers went to bat and started off strong with early boundaries being hit before John was first out. With the scoring rate well past the required rate the Hustlers batsmen then decided to give away their wickets in a frenzy as they started to play undisciplined cricket.

At the break they had 95 on the board but had lost their top 4 batsmen.

It all boiled down to some sensible batting from Cliff, Sanjeev, and Amar to see their team home in a game they had made hard for themselves. Six points were collected but many of the Hustler batsmen need to take a week off and think why some of them played irresponsible shots when there was no need for panic.
