T20 Challenge Match
Cricket
commenced with a T20 Challenge Match on Saturday morning at the Alan Cooke
Ground between Etihad Airways and a Rest of the World XI consisting on the best
players from the other sides in the tournament.
The match
saw Etihad take the honours with a 7 wicket victory, which was closed out in
the seventeenth over thanks to some scintillating stroke play from Sreekanth
(45 not out) and Wednesday’s Player of the Day Ahmed Nadeem who ended unbeaten
on 42. Anuj was the stand out bowler for the World XI as he chipped in with 3
for 28.
The World
XI’s innings had earlier got off to an electrifying start as Deepak Khatri put
on a beautiful display of controlled clean hitting to retire on 50 from just 24
balls before returning later to end on 68 off 30 deliveries, as his side posted
154-9 from their 20 overs. Nadeem took 2-7 for Etihad with Kabir chipping in
with 2-12.
A proud ACST
Chairman, Michael “Cat” Maher summed up the morning’s entertainment. “It has
been an absolute pleasure to have such a fine group of cricketers along from
Etihad Airways. They have been an absolute credit both to themselves, their
employers and the tournament. We hope to continue to see them regularly in the
future at ACST events. I would also like to thank the World XI side captained
by our ACST Indian representative Sudhir Tyagi who came together to portray our
chore value of Friendships through Cricket”
