May 14,
Seattle II won the toss and decided to bat, on a batting track,
on an overcast day. The game started half hour late due to scheduling
mishap. For this reason, the overs were cut short from 45 to 40.
Damn soccer players. Great batting from Fahad 53 and slower but
smarter Bunto 21. First wicket fell in the 25th over. This gave
remaining batsmen confidence to play their shots in the overs left.
Raja, a new player, scored a quick 33. Zia 36 played sensibly with
Naveed 11 to take Seattle to a comfortable score of 207. Gulli and
Naveed opened the bowling. Abbotsford starting their batting with
a fury of shorts. Gulli bowled his best and took the top three wickets
for 15 runs. Anwar bowled excellent 6 overs taking 2 wickets. Abbotsford
tried harder to keep up the run rate but lost their wicket at a
faster rate and were all out for 122. Seattle II gets their first
victory.
