It was a very hot morning at Tamarac. Mumineen II had won the toss and decided to have a bat first. Some wayward bowling by Mumineen I had Mumineen II with a great start of 26/0 after only 3 overs. Kam and Zameer started a lethal partnership and were looking very dangerous. Kam was out bowled, which lead an in form Mustaq to bat. Mustaq and Zameer were easily finding boundaries all over the park hitting good and bad deliveries. After 12 overs, Mumineen II were already 119/3. A wicket fell in the following over as Zameer was caught by Omar, but Mustaq wasn't done yet. He had really began to pour it on and batted the rest of the innings with Fazal. At the end, Mumineen I gave up the highest score they have ever given up in the IJSCL.
Mumineen II 198/4 After 20 Overs
Mustaq - 69*
Zameer - 38
Kam - 37
Altab 4 0 32 2
Mumineen I were aware that they were chasing a gigantic score of 199. Razak and Zaheer opened up the batting for Mumineen I. Zaheer hit a wonderful shot for 4, but followed it being caught after lofting a delivery straight to long off. Mumineen I had a very slow start and looked in trouble already as they were only 19/1 after 4 overs. The rate was picking up slowly, but not enough was added. The run-rate kept rising and wickets started to fall. After 10 overs, Mumineen I were 65/4, needing another 134 in the last 10. More tight bowling as added in and as Aseef fell being bowled by Mustaq, it was a nail in the coffin. Adam came in with a late batting onslaught, but it wasn't enough as Mumineen I fell to their 3rd defeat.
Mumineen I 150/9 After 20 Overs
Adam - 38
Aseef - 38
Razak - 31
Idreece - 1 0 6 2
Zameer - 3 0 22 2
Mustaq - 3 0 26 2
In other news, I would like to congratulate Asif Sharief in a wonderful century against Unity. That is the second week in a row that a player on Nur-ul-Islam has scored a century. In fact, our next game will be against them. So this should be fun.
