This was a 2nd round cup match with Junoon CC playing Safe Skills CC, both
debutants in this league. The disorientation and delayed arrival of Safe
Skills meant the game had to be reduced to 14 overs. Junoon lost the toss
and were put into bat. A slow start meant the run rate was lower than
required. Junoon finally finished on 99, with some good hitting by Sunny and
Abby.
Safe Skills came into batting with the intention to finish the game
off quickly, but the bowlers kept them contained as long as they possibly
could. Safe skills finally unleashed themselves for a while but wickets
started to fall. Abby bowled a perfect slow yorker as his first ball of the
match only to see the stumps swing back and forth.
Finally, Safe skills reached the target of 100 with ease and within
10 overs.
A disappointing result for Junoon but credit goes to them for
excellent discipline on the pitch and a brave effort as newcomers to this
league. Good luck to Safe Skills in the cup.
