Mumineen I Vs. Mumineen II @ Tamarac Sports Complex #6 - Game 3

It was a great morning for cricket as the weather was fair. The toss was won by Mumineen II and decided they wanted to bowl first. Mumineen I had a quick start with Aseef and Anoop scoring quick runs. Anoop was out caught for 7. 2 overs later Aseef was bowled by a full toss from Afzal. Altab and Zaheer fought on and tried to build a partnership, but that fell soon as well when Zaheer was run out again for the 3rd week straight. This lead to more quick wickets falling as Nazim and Brian both went for ducks. Mumineen I was in a world of trouble at 65-5. Altab and Adam brought Mumineen I right back into the game. Adam slammed 20 runs off an over bowled by Zameer Razak. Adam was bowled by Bud, but his contribution was vital to the total. Altab batted with the rest of the order to put up a final score of 140/9 after 20 overs. Altab was once again for the 3rd week straight, short of his 50.

Mumineen I knew the strength of the Mumineen II batting lineup and knew they had to bowl much better than they did in the previous game against Muttaqeen. First wicket to go down was a big one as Fazal was caught behind by Omar for 7. Shemer was soon bowled by Nazim a few overs later. Wickets starting falling at a quick pace for Mumineen II as Mustaq, Brian Seeram and Idreece all went down. Mumineen II found themselves in a similar fashion Mumineen I was in with the score 68-5. Zameer and Bud were the last 2 barriers Mumineen I need to breakthrough to win. Zameer was the first to fall as he was caught by whoelse....the mans son, Nazim. Another wicket of Afzal fell soon afterwards, which brought victory even closer to Mumineen I. A few balls later, the X factor Bud was caught by Brian. The wicket taker on that one was....that guys son, Aseef. Mumineen II never recovered and were down and out for the count. Mumineen I played a very good game with outstanding bowling and fielding.
