Plucky Oceans win thriller

Oceans CC were put under serious examination by a resolute and hard working High Stables side. High Stables won the toss and elected to bat first. They were in big trouble at the mid point with their total on 62/7 off 9 overs.However, an excellent partnership by M.Hughes and J.Clogg got High Stables to a respectable and a defendable score of 120/8 from their 16 overs.A special mention should go to Owais who grabbed excellent figures of 5-10 from his three overs icluding two runouts. In reply Oceans were in serious trouble.Most of their main batsmen had perished with the score on 41/5 from 6 overs. However, Mr reliable Sonu and Ali played very sensible and ticked the score along without letting the run rate climb any higher.When they perished, Oceans still required 26 with only two wickets remaining and then 8 still required from the last over with the final pair at the crease.Owais produced a match winning display by holding his nerve and hitting an unbeaten 27 which included a 6 to win the game in the final over.This was a very nervy performance from Oceans but credit must be given to High Stables who played very well.
