ICC World Cricket League Division Five - Round Up Part 5- Feb 24, 2012-Continued
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Singapore-c3005 vs. Argentina:
Singapore cruised to a 146-run victory over Argentina in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cricket League Division Five match, on Feb 24, 2012, at Padang.
After electing to bat upon winning the toss, Singaporean openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chetan-Ramchandra-Suryawanshi-c50578 and Chaminda Kumarage, started the innings sensibly and gave a solid first-wicket stand of 41 runs before losing Chetan off Hernan FennelFl as the player only contributed
9 to the score.
The host, however, suffered another break in their momentum after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anish-Edward-Param-c44785 was run out on 4.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kshitij-Baliram-Shinde-c71818 came in, and partnered in a 19-run stand with Kumarage before spinner Esteban Mcdermot, got the all important scalp of the opener, who departed after making a valuable 52.
Singapore suffered their fourth loss on 103, and looked in a bit of bother but Shinde and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Janik-c50851 (93) then restored parity with a vital 82-run partnership, which took the score to 185.
Shine (73) was scooped up by medium pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alejo-Tissera-c43099, but the tail-enders showed competency and guided the home side to a reasonable 239.
Chasing 240, Argentina were totally dismantled by the Singapore’s bowler attack with the assault starting as early as the first over when Grant Dugmore, the right-handed opener was picked up by medium pacer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Shoaib-Abdul-Razzak-c77361.
Their frailties in the batting line were further exploited on a frequent basis as the visitors crumbled on an embarrassing 93 inside 31 overs. Only four batsmen managed reach to double figures, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lucas-Martin-Paterlini-c73236 and Alejo Tissera remaining the joint highest
scorers with 20 each.
In an excellent bowling performance, Shoaib Razak was the most prominent bowler form the Singapore side with imposing match figures of 6.5-14-4.
This victory has taken Singapore on the top of the points table, while their opponents http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Argentina-c2841 have failed to register any win in the five matches they have player so far – hence being rock bottom in the competition.
The Player of the match award was given to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shinde-c90027 for his outstanding knock.
