Malaysia vs. Bahrain:
Bahrain staged a stunning upset by defeating table topers Malaysia, in the fifth match of the tournament, winning by two wickets, at the Indian Association Ground.
Malaysia faced early disappointments when their opening batsmen went back to the pavilion at the score of 22. The innings was then steadied by the middle-order pairing of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Anwar-Arudin-c76686 (50), whose impressive 3rd- wicket
stand of 107 runs brought the team out of the initial chaos.
Their partnership was then followed by a quick fire 34-run knock by Hiran Ralalage, who smashed three sixes in his brisk stay at the wicket as the Malaysians reached 195.
The right-arm fast bowler, Rizwan Baig, picked up 4 wickets for 23 runs in his 9 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Adil-Hanif-c42002, was the savior as the right-hander contributed a very useful hand of 65, which included five boundaries and 2 mammoth sixes. He was well supported
by Rizwan Baig (24) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tahir-Dar-c92592 (17), as the team reached to the victory total in the 41st over of the match.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mirza-Rizwan-Baig-c76378, for his all-round performance, was awarded with the Player Of the Match accolade.
Guernsey vs. Cayman Islands:
After losing a closely contested match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Cayman-Islands-c2867 by 6 wickets, at Kallang Ground.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramon-Anthony-Sealy-c83888
(19). The team’s failure to develop significant partnerships eventually resulted in them folding on a lowly 164.
GH Smit, the right-arm spinner, dismantled three Cayman Islands batsmen to remain the pick of the bowlers.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Guernsey-c40999’s opening pair, Smit (59) and Tim Ravenscroft (55), shared much of the work load by providing an impressive 107-run start upfront. Both the openers entertained the fans with a collective sum of 12 boundaries and six during their stay on the pitch.
The remaining job was then further carried on by the no.3 batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jeremy-David-John-Frith-c66866, whose unbeaten 33 helped the team to clinch a comfortably victory in 43.2 overs.
Player Of the Match award, predictably, went to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GH-Smit-c59942 for his all-round excellent performance.
