White Stallions 112-8 lost to Informatics (ICC) 113-7 by 3 wickets

A Tense win over last year's champions

A good start to the season last night. Replying to the Stallions 112-8, we got off to a quick start . With Shehzad scoring his 26 off just 11 balls and Mr extras being more than generous, we were just about half way to our target with just 7 overs gone. After that a combination of regular wickets, tight fielding and the inability of our batsmen to hit boundaries saw more and more overs go by without reeling in their score. In the end grafting innings of 13 from Matt Frampton, 10 from Rab and 12 from Sethu saw us home with an over and a couple of balls to spare, with a fair bit of tension and a couple of close lbw calls thrown in. Apart from Shehzad, everyone else found it hard to get the ball away and it was just as well there was a mammomth 40+ score for Mr Extras!
