THREE of Harlequins Cricket Club’s seven teams were engaged in league matches on Sunday, 12 January.
The first team took on formidable opposition Topham Cricket Club from Chatsworth in a 50-over promotion league match. Quins’ trio of fast bowlers were non-penetrative in the early juncture of the match primarily due to an initially slow wicket, which livened up later on during the course of the match. Sylvester Sauli was economical through conceding just 23 runs in 10 overs, capturing a solitary wicket during his endeavour. Stand out bowlers in the Quins’ arsenal were two right arm orthodox slow bowlers. Regular spin bowler Andrea Dal Moro delivered admirably in his spell conceding just 24 runs and capturing one wicket. The best of the bowlers was Momedtalha Motalha who captured two wicket for nine runs.
Quins’ opener Sheldon Spindler played out a good tactical innings of 24 runs before he was bowled out. Heath Manicom dug in while most of the top order capitulated, scoring 15 well deserved runs off 47 deliveries. Kevin Kettle had no inhibitions during his charismatic but short innings of 26 runs striking four boundaries, Mohamed Patel was dynamic yet flamboyant in his contribution of 30 runs striking five boundaries and Sylvester Sauli was undefeated on 11 runs, but ran out of partners when Quins lost their tenth wicket, 39 runs shy of their target in the 38th over. Topham won by 38 runs.
Other team results: Quins’ 2nds vs DUT: Quins won by 202 runs.
All seven of the club’s teams will be involved in league match activity on the weekend of 18 and 19 January.
