Corinthians beat USCTCC to go 2-0

A comprehensive win to start off the month. USC won the toss and must have regretted choosing to bat first once they were quickly 23-4 in the first 10 overs. Richard and Gokul were on target from the start, each taking two cheap wickets. Abbas and Imran then got stuck into the middle order, and although USC managed a minor recovery thanks to Sushil Premjani (54) the final total of 145 was never going to be enough against the Corinthians strong batting line up. The Corinthians fielded well also, with wicket keeper Paul Severn and Phil Traynor each pouching two catches. Corinthians made short work of the reply; Andrew Price and Raj Naik put on a quick 41 before Andrew was out, whereupon Gokul and Raj compiled a 90 partnership to take Corinthians to the brink of victory in just 23 overs. Gokul finished 29*, while Raj was out for a superb 86 which included 14 boundaries.
