Fiji v http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cricket League Division Six – First Innings Recap
Rain intervened and stopped the play after Fiji scored 173 for the loss of 6 wickets in 43.5 overs against Kuwait today, September 21, 2011, in a One Day game of the ICC World Cricket League Division Six, at Kinrara Academy Oval, Kuala Lumpur. The match
has been put off for an indefinite period.
Winning the toss, Kuwait elected to field first. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Joji-Bulabalavu-c69064 as openers.
The start was poor as Kida fell in the 5th over of the innings after scoring just 1 run off 12 balls. This early wicket helped the Kuwaiti bowlers put pressure on the batsmen.
However, the one-down batsman and skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Josefa-Falani-Rika-c69246, combined with Bulabalavu and advanced the innings slowly, adding 26 runs to the team's tally. Bulabalavu was caught behind in the 11th over after making 21 from 32 balls with the help of
3 fours.
The next batsman, Maciu Gauna, followed suit and lost his wicket without contributing even a single run.
The fourth-wicket partnership between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waisake-Tukana-c95863 and Rika was impressive as the two collectively put 73 runs on the board with their epic fifties. Rika fell in the 31st over after lashing 55 off 75 balls including 6 boundaries, while Tukana
remained not out till the rain-led end with 50 from 99 deliveries.
The two middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Khan-c77067 was not out on 1 when the game came to a halt.
Thus, Fiji had 173 runs with the run rate of 3.94 per over before going back to the pavilion. The innings included 13 extra runs. Tasheed Tawheed, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sakaraia-Ratumuri-Lomani-c88054 were to bat yet.
In the bowling line-up of Kuwait, Sibtain Raza grabbed 3 wickets for 37 runs while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hisham-Mirza-c63244 fielded 8 bowlers against the rivals but five of them failed to make
an impact.
As per expert opinion, the play will resume if rain stops before the evening and if showers continue, the umpires will abandon the game by giving 1 point each to the teams.
