WISA Division 2… Rockaway CC beat Regal X1 by 4 wickets

Apr 20, 2013 Sports

 

 

As the old adage goes, “Who last laugh, laughs the best”, well the first laugh was coming from the Regal’s dugout.
They took first strike but suffered an early set back at 6 for 1 off 2 overs. With some attacking batting thereafter by the Regal’s batsmen, balls were flying to all parts of the playfield situated on Redfern Avenue & Beach 12, USA.
V. Singh (67 runs) and A. Rampersad (69) made full use of the small boundaries, taking on every bowler that was introduced. They were scoring freely as well as loosing wickets. Eventually Regal XI ended their innings on 269-9 off their 25 overs.
Sanjay, Nazam and M. Khan grabbed 2 wickets each bowling for Rockaway.
With brilliant sunshine and chilly winds blowing from the Atlantic, most people taught that the target of 270 was a tough ask for the team chasing.
But, knowing the conditions were well known by the Rockaway team and their home ground presented another advantage backed up with a powerful batting line up; the feeling was that no target is too big for the Rockaway boys on home turf.
With an asking rate of 10.8 per over, openers M. Ali ‘Bunty’ slammed a 101 and Charlie hit 43 in laying a solid foundation for their teammates to build on and to also ensure that they had the last laugh.
No Regal bowler was spared and felt the full length of the Rockaway batters blade to the extent that panic crept into the Regal camp which saw them cracking up.
Imran Hassan chipped in with 35 as Rockaway reached their target of 270 losing 6 wickets along the way with 2-balls to spare from the 25 overs.
Despite one team coming out victor, both teams enjoyed the very exciting encounter. M. Ali ‘Bunty’ was named the most valuable player for his matching winning 101. Rockaway also won another game against the local Boys which was contested on April 7.
Rockaway Cricket Club is sponsored by Mr. Hafeez Ali of Rockaway Car Service and Roti Shop, A Ali (Jango) of Ozone Auto Repairs and H. Ali (Ginger) of All in One Construction.
