| Lehigh v Hustlers 2 CC |
Hustlers won the toss and had no hesitation in putting Lehigh into bat first on a damp batting wicket.
Lehigh started off well running their singles but with their scoring reading on 18, Amar bowled 2 beauties to get rid of both of the openers. With Retesh, bowling tight at the other end, the two of them completed the first 10 overs with Lehigh at only 38 runs scored.
Lehigh then found the bowling of Ravi, Sanjeev, and Mukesh to much to handle as the 3 of them took another 3 wickets and saw Lehigh going to the break with their score at a sorry looking 54 for 6.
Only another 4 overs were bowled after the break before Lehigh were all out for 77.
Sanjeev 4 for 7, Amar 3 for 19, Retesh 2 for 17 and Mukesh 1 for 21 were the chief destroyers with the ball.
Hustlers went to bat knowing that only 3 an over was required and duly set off to make the 77 runs needed in a solid fashion.
John was the only batsman out for 10 as Chris 45 not out and Ravi 20 not out saw their team home after 15 overs.
The most important game of the season for Hustlers saw them put on a magnificent display by their bowlers to bowl out Lehigh for 77 and this was followed up by batting practice for the first 3. Commiserations go out to Lehigh for the loss but they can still hold their heads up high as they showed they are a quickly improving team this season. They played in a winning season for them and shocked a lot of the other teams in the Division by finishing second.
Hustlers will now meet Warriors CC who beat Breakaway CC in the other semi final game. The division final will be in 2 weeks time scheduled to be played at Brian Picolo Park.
Congratulations to our skipper Basil for leading us and manager Derek for putting all the hard work into the season culminating in a Final's appearance for the Hustlers.
