Pattaya Cricket Club edge closer to a top 4 place with a 7 wicket win over Bangkok Cricket Club

[snoop1130]

 

The match was played at Pattana Sports Resort on Sunday 20th Feb under increasingly dark and threatening clouds and a stiff southerly breeze. PCC continued their winning streak with their best performance to date by defeating a top 4 team and now lie 5th in the A Division, behind BCC.  PCC’s fielding was excellent with plenty of hard running, only 1 dropped catch, accurate bowling (well most of the time), and forceful batting.  

  

BCC won the toss and decided to bat.  They opened with Semarjit Singh and Vishal Patkar whilst PCC opened with Ryan Driver and Wez Masterton, Ben Fogden being unavailable.  The first 5 overs were an even contest between batsmen and bowlers with plenty of dot balls and the occasional boundary and wide.  Vishal had some luck when on 10 as Jainish Parikh’s normally safe hands fumbled the ball at the deep midwicket boundary off Ryan’s bowling. 

 

A solid start for BCC with 21 off the first 5 overs.  Bernie Lamprecht and Jainish took up the bowling attack and had immediate success on the long-on boundary when Ryan caught Vishal for 19, BCC’s top scorer for the day.  Jainish made amends in the 10th over when Semarjit got an edge and was caught behind by Colin Clark.  Captain Abhijit Kulkarni and Rahul Jangir made steady progress over the next 5 overs until Rhaul, on 17, played all around a ball from Bernie and lost his off stump.  BCC went for drinks on 3 for 78 and was quietly happy with their performance.
