Match Report It was one of those hot days that PACC had to encounter CICC. Hats off to CICC that it arrived on time. CICC shows conviction and courage to be part of MACC. As so many other teams struggled in their earlier years CICC is no different in their first few games.
PACC decided to take it one game at a time. Mansoor and Aqeel started off for PACC but Mansoor was dispatched back to bench with a tardy slip in his hand. Imran took charge of the PACC's batting with sensible innings of his own. He hit great shots and showed his talent with quick 67. He decided to decline an offer to score century and gave catching practice to Stephen. Aqeel was bowled on a quicker one while Haroon was out of touch although scored 34 runs. Akbar started launching long ones but was caught briliantly by Marc at deep long on. Everybody including PACC applauded marc with a big Hurrah! Nasir played his usual role and completed hat trick of 50s three games in a row.(TCC,CCCC,CICC). What followed Nasir was amazing as captain Kamran quick fired 31 with spectacular drives. Mushtaq impressed by Kamran hit 2 huge sixes to cap PACC's innings.PACC improved its record for highest score by 3 runs and settled for 329 runs. CICC did not look disturb by huge total and decided to play their game. Some good shots earlier on showed potential for this team but too much defence was exploited by Akbar and Haroon as wood flew all over Hobson cricket ground. Akbar caped himself for 3 while Haroon made sure last man is out of ground before he gets relieved. Tremendous courage was shown by the youngest fellow of MACC Zachry Roberts. He showed confidence at the crease and when Haroon delivered an under arm umpire Dave furiously called no ball. Dave immediately took charge of the game and made Haroon bowl with legal action. Although Zak remained not out but displayed his potential in the game and could be first one to represent MACC in under 15 squad for USA. PACC appreciates CICC for their dedication to the game of cricket. Its worth mentioning that CICC played with 10 players and at no point looked discouraged by whats going on the ground. It takes some time and CICC will get there.
Haroon was declared Man of the Match for his All round display but Imran was right behind him with his quick 67 and 3 catches.
Great Job PACC lets keep it up and go for one more. Remember One game at a time.
Umpire Report Good consistent umpiring by Dave Wallace and Azam of HPCC in hot conditions. Thank you very much for your dedication. |
