Second Win

Inland Empire II won the toss on a beautiful day and decided to bat on a good wicket. They lost their first wicket at 22 and the second at 24 and would have been in serious trouble had it not been for a stubborn knock of 22 by Parvez and some lofty hits by Rajesh. After the fall of Parvez for 22 and later Rajesh for a well played 55, there were little partnerships that took the score to 151. Eagles would have done much better if they had held their catches and not bowled 23 wides. Six catches were floored and Eagles need to do better if they are to succeed this season. In response, Eagles lost their first two wickets at 14, their third at 16 before a good partnership between Mohinder and Desmond that took the score to 60 when Desmond was out caught off Raju. Mohinder and Krishna then consolidated the inning before Mohinder was out for a well played 26. Krishna was then joined by Ken and they continued the rebuilding of the inning until Krishna lost his wicket after a stubborn knock of 17. Gary and Ken then saw Eagles home with a disciplined partnership. Gary was undefeated on 16 and Ken on 17. Good second win for Eagles who showed character in a well played match which showed Inland Empire taking the fight to Eagles. Good luck Inland Empire II, thanks for a good game.
