Naughty XI Vs Wintex Strikers
Cocoon Home T20 Tournament
Naughty XI batted first and were off to a poor start losing both their openers for duck. This pushed them on the backfoot and that was not an ideal beginning for them. After the early loss, the middle order put on a good show and batted with intent and rescued the sinking ship. First it was partnership between Rafeh and Faisal which put them back on track. Rafeh scored 26 off 22 whereas Faisal scored 37 off 30 balls and after that Asad and Atif propelled the scoreboard forward with their partnership. They added more than 40 runs together out of which Asad scored 25 whereas Atif scored 21. The end was not a bright one and Naughty XI managed to score 145 in their 20 overs.
It was a modest chase and Wintex began their innings in positive fashion. The openers looked to be in good touch and they smashed the bowlers around during their stay. Shezad scored 29 off 15 with 5 fours and a six whereas Adnan scored 24 off 23 balls. After a good opening stand, Aamir Motiwala came in and held one end together and others revolved around him, Aamir scored 37 off 32 balls with 4 fours, he was supported first by Tayyab who scored 12 off 13 and then by Samad who scored 14 off 18. Ritchie played a little cameo down the order to help Wintex secure victory. The bowling was average from the bowlers except Asad who picked up 3 wickets but that was not enough as Wintex Strikers won by 5 wickets in 18 overs.
