Badshah stars in Star C.C. win
Badshah struck an unbeaten 124 from only 80 deliveries to lead Star C.C. to an
emphatic 66-run victory over Truebell C.C.
Electing to bat first, Badshah was in menacing form after Star C.C. had lost both
their openers cheaply. Badshah smashed 13 fours and five sixes during his 80-ball
stay at the wicket.
Iqbal played the perfect foil with a patient unbeaten 52 including sevens hits to
the fence as Star C.C. amassed 219 for 3 in their allotted overs. Gavin
was the only successful bowler with two wickets.
In reply, Truebell never seemed to be in search of a win as they lost wickets at
regular intervals to fold up at 153 in 27 overs. Gavin was once again to the fore with a
gritty 45, while Sajid (38) and Adil (26) came up with some useful contributions.
Badshah picked up two wickets in his one over to walk away with the man of the
match award, while Mohammed Rashid bagged three wickets.
