Wooden pitch with matting on it as they had just dug up the cricket pitch so this was the work around so we could play. Interesting to say the least.

Bowling award to Martin Bigg with 18 wickets at 11.33

PSC beats USM

PSC beats USM 

(15 November 2015)

The third match of Penang 30 overs Cricket League was played between Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and Penang Sports Club (PSC) on November 15, 2015 on Penang Sports Club (PSC) Cricket ground. The coin was thrown in the hot air at 9:15am and the match was started after 15 minutes of the toss. PSC captain Shahul won the toss and invited USM to bat first.



Penang Sports Club (PSC) elected to field first after winning the toss. The opening faces from USM team was Najam and Mosiur. Lovely opened the bowled the very first over of the innings. On the very first ball of the match Najam tried to hit the ball, but the lofted drive went straight on mid on and Daud took a splended catch. The USM batsmen continued their aggression, but could not utilize the first mandatory power play as they lost three wickets. Masiur and Rana were the only two batsmen who went into double figure. Daud and Arjun took three wickets each. USM managed to put 57 runs on the scoreboard and lost all wickets.



In reply, PSC openers could not provide solid start and lost their wickets cheaply. USM kept on picking the wickets, even as PSC batsmen kept themselves within touching distance of the required run-rate. After fall of three wickets, Shahul and Yasir tried to come out from the pressure of USM pacers and started developing a good partnership for PSC. Shahul was bowled on Kashif’s in swinging yorker and Yasir could not clear the boundary and caught on long-on by Najam. At that time USM took back their strength but Shan and Mohan came in and hit beautiful shorts and won the match. PSC chased down the minor target of 58 runs after 11th over. #
