A cloudy morning at Tamarac was the site for the final game of the regular season. Mumineen I went in to bowl first. MJAM Arrival quickly dug themselves in a hole as Aseef and Javed ripped through the top order. After 4 overs, MJAM Arrival were already 12/4. The batting continued to collapse as all Mumineen I bowlers were bowling tight. MJAM Arrival were 36/8 until some decent late hitting from a few players. After 11 players were finally out, MJAM Arrival were literally all out after 17.4 overs.

IJSCL Fall Season 2011 - Mumineen I vs Muttaqeen I @ Margate Middle School - Game 4
It was a very nice morning for cricket at Margate Middle School. The stage was set for the 2 mammoths of the league. Mumineen I won the toss and decided to bat first. Anoop and Zahid were sent in to open. A decent start at 22 runs after 3 overs without a wicket was corrupted in the 1st ball of the 4th over as Anoop was caught by Kevin. Zahid and Razak was in and kept the runs ticking at a solid rate. Zahid was out in the 7th over as Mumineen I had 45 on the board. Altab was next in and he too bat well with Razak to keep the run rate steady at 93 after 13. Altab got caught out for a solid 28. Mumineen I got into some big trouble with careless shots as Nazim and skipper Aseef were both caught for duck. Adam was in next and put on a critical partnership with Razak to help Mumineen I go for a solid score. Razak continued to pour it on and finished off not out in his terrific innings. Mumineen I scored the exact target they aimed for from the start and was very satisfied.

Muttaqeen I came out swinging hard early forcing Nazim out of the attack early. Fahron was the first man to go and 4 balls later, Andy was gone caught by Adam at long on. Kaiume was in next and this was the main partnership Mumineen I didn't want to make last long. Both batsmen were looking fine batting until Kaiume was caught behind by Razak. 2 overs later, Kevin was gone and the big 4 was all out with only 61 on the board. Muttaqeen I started to fall like an anchor being dropped from a boat. As 3 quick wickets for no runs dropped. Muttaqeen I in no time, were 66/7 after 10.
