It was the second win in 2 matches for CCL.
Batting first, Under-25 could only muster 157 runs all out in 15 overs. Main wicket-takers for Commonwealth were Suleman from Strikers CC who took 2 for 25 and Bilal Shahid from NYCCC who scalped 2 for 27.
Ironically, both Bilal and Suleman are only 21 and 22 years respectively.
Commonwealth achieved an amazing win with Shahid of Strikers CC scoring a scintillating and robust 118 not out.
His innings included eight 6’s and twelve 4’s. That meant 96 of his runs came off boundaries. Commonwealth ended up knocking off the score in the 14th. over.
The youngsters from the Under-25 played as well as can be expected of them and they showed great potential.
