HK Cricket Match Reports: Saturday 5 December, 2015

Saturday Championship

With both Mission Road and KCC out of action this week, there were only two matches played in the Saturday Championship and both were rain-affected.

Saturday Championship Division 1

HKCC Gap Ramblers v HKCC Witherers
At Hong Kong Cricket Club, poor weather spoiled the derby match between HKCC Gap Ramblers and HKCC Witherers. With an eye on the weather, Witherers elected to bowl after winning the toss but it was Gap Ramblers who made the most of the early going as openers Raag Kapur and Isaac Poole put on 70 runs for the first wicket. However, Poole’s wicket (39) triggered a mini collapse that saw Gap Ramblers slip to 3/78, with Sean Robson grabbing two wickets. Kapur helped advance his team’s score to 4/140 after 19 overs when rain forced the players from the field and the match was abandoned with no further play possible. Kapur finished unbeaten on 68.
At HKCC: HKCC Gap Ramblers 4/140 from 19 overs drew with HKCC Witherers. Match abandoned.

Saturday Championship Division 2

Laguna Gully v Pioneers
At PKVR Park, Laguna Gully scored a bonus victory over Pioneers in a rain-affected match that reached a conclusion.

Batting first after winning the toss, Laguna Gully had scored 3/168 from 29 overs when rain stopped play. Ajay Naik was unbeaten on 38 and Shekkar Sharma not out on 68 when the players left the field. After an extended break, play resumed with Pioneers set a revised target of 105 for victory in 18 overs. However, the Laguna Gully bowlers held the upper hand in the second innings with Pranav Shah (3/11) and Abhishek Desai (3/12) doing most of the damage.  None of the Pioneers batsmen mastered the slippery conditions and they were all out for 60 in 17 overs with no batsman reaching double figures.
At PKVR Park: Laguna Gully 3/168 from 29 overs beat Pioneers (target 105 from 18 overs) 60 from 17 overs by 44 runs.

HK Cricket Match Reports: Sunday 6 December, 2015

Sunday Championship

PACC v HKCC Optimists
PACC got the better of HKCC Optimists at Hong Kong Cricket Club. Optimists’ skipper David Jaquier won the toss and put the visitors into bat. Speedster Miles Richardson grabbed the early wicket of Daniyal Bukhari but Richardson had a mixed bag with the ball, conceding many wides. The PACC score progressed nicely to 61 but a flurry of wickets saw them slip from 1/61 to 5/76. Skhawat Ali (37) and Ahsan Abbasi put on 76 runs for the sixth wicket while Abbasi (71) and Zamir Ali (56*) added another 69 runs for the seventh. PACC reached 8/244 from their 50 overs with Richardson claiming 3/49 from his ten over spell.

The PACC bowlers made regular inroads into the Optimists’ batting line-up as they reduced their hosts to 5/75. Left-arm speedster Mohsin Khan did the early damage with 3/39 from his ten over spell. A 53-run sixth wicket stand between Courtney Kruger and Miles Richardson lifted the score to 110 before Kruger was dismissed for 54. Richardson and the lower-order batsmen added a further 63 runs but their efforts fell well short and Richardson was the last man out for 72.
At HKCC: PACC 8/244 from 50 overs beat HKCC Optimists 173 from 41.4 overs by 71 runs.

Vagabonds v SLCC
At PKVR Park, there was a tight match between Shaffi’s Vagabonds and Headwin Tritons SLCC with SLCC prevailing in the end.

SLCC won the toss and put Vagabonds into bat. Vagabonds were in early trouble as they lost both openers with only two runs on the board. None of the Vagabonds batsmen could master the bowling and they lost wickets at regular intervals. They were quickly reduced to 6/58 with wicket-keeper Khalid Qureshi grabbing five catches. Numan Aziz picked up three wickets as Vagabonds slumped to 8/72 but some useful hitting by their tail-enders helped them reach 130 all out. Junaid was the best of the Vagabonds’ batsmen with 26* while Aziz finished with figures of 3/35 from ten overs for SLCC.

The SLCC reply followed a similar pattern to the Vagabonds innings and they looked to be in some trouble at 5/77. A stabilizing 27 from Asad Rasheed got them to a 110 but four more wickets fell as they scrapped home with the last pair at the crease.
At PKVR Park: Shaffi’s Vagabonds 130 from 35.1 overs lost to SLCC 134 from 36.2 overs by one wicket.
