Sporting Alfas Cricket Club Sporting Alfas Sunday v Barcelona on Sun 13 Apr 2008 at 13.00
Sporting Alfas Cricket Club Lost by 19 runs
Match report
Sunday, April 13th
Barcelona CC 253-8 (40 Overs)
SACC 2nds 235-7 (40 Overs)
A pulsating affair at the Woodbridge Oval saw the SACC 2nd XI fall just short in a thrilling run chase against Barcelona CC, completing a notable double for the visitors who enjoyed a good weekend.
Having won the toss, the visitors chose to bat and it wasn´t long before S.Cowley (3-52 from 8 overs) made the breakthrough in the sixth over. Barcelona's flamboyant style ensured a brisk scoring rate, despite S.Ali's 2-32
from 4 overs and Marriner's 2-43 from 8 overs, and even though Tanveer (51) was the only batsman to post a half century, useful contributions from Rashid and Tariq helped the guests to a challenging 253-8 in the allotted 40 overs. The home side were able to take great heart from a very composed fielding display that included several fine catches in the deep and a very committed all-round approach.
In reply SACC lost S.Ali, leg before to the bowling of Tanveer (1-27 from 7 overs), in the sixth over, but fellow opener Mudasser (121) proceeded to counterattack with a flourish, freely hitting boundaries either side of the wicket, and with able support from Shafique (25) and Morgan (14), the run chase looked very much within reach. The turning point was to be the visitors' decision to swap wicketkeepers so that Armagan (2-6 from 2 overs) could turn
his arm over - his first ball was enough to have Mudasser caught at the wicket, and the 2nd XI's first centurion of the season was forced to depart with the match at a crucial stage. With 36 still required from the last 3 overs, the home side were finally subdued by some accurate death bowling from a side who promise to make a real challenge for the league title, and ultimately SACC fell 19 runs short of their target.
Whilst defeats are always bitter affairs, the 2nd XI showed that a competitive spirit remains within the team and, against a very useful Barcelona side, no small amount of pride was restored with this performance that augurs well for the forthcoming league fixtures.
