ICC World Cricket League Division Four, Tanzania set up 3-wicket win over Argentina
Argentina suffered their fourth successive defeat of the tournament as a clinical bowling performance from Kassim Nassoro consigned them to a 3-wicket defeat. In a match played at the Centro Sportivo Dozza, Navile on 19th August, the modest 50-overs target of 198 set by Argentina was easily met by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tanzania-c3019 with nine overs to spare and three wickets intact.
Kassim Nassoro’s six-wicket haul restricted the out of sorts batting line-up of Argentina to a gettable 197 in their allotted 50 overs. Only Grant Dugmore and Matias Paterlini played the Tanzanian bowlers with confidence both plundering four muscular boundaries and a lofty six. The rest of the cast struggled against Kassim Nassoro and Kiseto, who claimed two wickets. Dugmore compiled 44 runs from 51 balls, while Matias Paterlini scored 37 runs off 73 balls.
In reply Tanzania’s batsmen did not fare too well. But they found their saviours in Seif Khalifa in the top order and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pablo-Ryan-c80612 took one wicket each.
The captain of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Argentina-c2841, Esteban MacDermott, after winning the toss opted to bat first. Argentina started its innings reasonably well with an opening stand of one less than fifty, posted by Matias Paterlini and Pablo Ferguson with the bulk coming from the former. Both partners played a responsible partnership of singles and doubles punishing loose deliveries for boundaries.
Kassim Nassoro opened up in the 15th over sacking http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Riziki-Kiseto-c85472 at the boundary. Ferguson scored 10 runs of 30 balls including a boundary as well. After Ferguson’s departure Grant Dugmore joined Matias Paterlini in his assault. Both the partners shared a partnership of only 13 runs for the second wicket.
That became 62 for 2 when Kassim Nassoro struck back in the 19th over trapping Matias Paterlini leg before. Paterlini added 37 runs to the team’s total from 73 balls. His 37-run innings entertained the audience with four lofty boundaries and a six as well. The next over, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Grant-c60671 Dugmore was retired hurt for 5 off 15 with 63 for 2 on the board. After Dugmore’s retirement, the red-hot Kassim Nassoro scythed through the batting line-up of Argentina to finish with six for 42 in his spell of 10 overs. The remaining 8 batsmen capitulated to the Tanzanian attack, except Lucas Paterlini, who bothered the Tanzanian bowlers a bit with his 26 of 38, including two boundaries and a six.
Lucas Paterlini departed in the 39th over leaving Argentina struggling at 126 for 7. That was the time when Dugmore was sent back to the crease and he did his job remarkably well dragging the side towards a respectable 50-overs total. Dugmore’s efforts were well complemented by late Diego Lord, who scored 17 off 12 plundering two boundaries and a six. Lord was the last man to lose his wicket on the last ball of the innings as Argentina ended its innings with 197 on the board.
In reply, Tanzania rode on Seif Khalifa’s whirlwind 72 off 41 to seal a three-wicket win over Argentina despite four ducks. After Khlalifa’s dismissal in the 15th over with only 97 on the board, Argentina started sniffing its comeback into the game. Khalifa was soon followed back by Abhik Patwa and Kassim Nassoro as Tanzania faltered at 106 for 6. Benson Mitwa and Khalil Rehmtullah took the initiative by putting together an unbeaten 72-run stand for the 8th wicket, to seal the game with plenty of overs to spare.
