Mavericks beat Lincoln Cricket Club by 25 runs

25 Jul 2015

Match was moved from Lincoln Air Park (Lincoln) to NP Dodge Park (Omaha) and the match was reduced to 20 overs due to inclement weather conditions. 

Lincoln won the toss and chose to field. Avinash and Lakshman opened the innings for Mavericks. Avinash got out cheap and Lakshman stood out there as the other batsmen of Mavericks were sent back in quick succession. Lakshman scored a whopping 62 in 60 balls and Mavericks managed to put up a target of 128 runs on the board. Rampi, Gotham and Bhargav picked up two wickets each.

LCC started off the chase with Vijay and Naren. Naren was sent back the first ball he played by Pradish getting him bowled. Then Rampi came in to do some damage but got out pretty quickly to Srikar. Then Gotham and Vijay kept the score board going for quite a while until Avinash bowled Vijay out. Gotham stayed on to hit a couple blows but by then most of the damage was done. LCC were all out in 19 overs.

Overall, it was a good game on a gloomy day which was played in good spirits.
