A batting masterclass from Zia saw Holy Cross progress to the final of the Parks Trophy last night at Meggetland.
Losing the toss, we were asked to field which didn't go so well. It was a lacklustre effort, with a couple of dropped catches and a number of misfields. Boroughmuir were swinging at everything and made it through to 124-8 off their 20.
Kashif with the pick of the figures 2-15 off 4!
We got off to a flyer, with myself hitting the first ball for 4. Then I managed to edge a ball on to my pads, then on to leg stump.
A couple of overs later, Raja fell to a bizarre caught and bowled. He smashed a straight drive on the up and Zia didn't have time to move, the ball hitting him on the arm and ricocheted up for the bowler to take an easy catch. We were in trouble 2-21 in the 4th over.
Owais then joined Zia at the wicket and steadily built an impressive partnership. Zia dominated, however Owais scored a run a ball 28*, including hitting a 6 to finish the game! Zia ended on 81* off only 60 balls and the pair put on 104!
In the end a comfortable victory with 2 overs and 8 wickets in hand.
MDAFS await us in the final on Wednesday 22nd.
