The Calcutta Cricket & Football Club, in black kit here, produced a sixes masterclass as all opposition was ruthlessly swept aside in their quest for the Cup on Finals Day at the Phuket International Cricket Sixes at Karon stadium on Sunday. The Calcutta outfit amassed the highest total in the tournament for the second time on the same day, a massive 116 runs from their allotted 5 overs, with the opposing Etihad bowlers, in white, finding no answer to the onslaught. In reply the Emirates side put on a respectable 84 runs, but it was well short of the mammoth target and the Calcutta side deservedly took the Champions title in front of an appreciative crowd. Toorak Prahan CC of Melbourne, here in blue, lifted the Plate trophy in their first appearance in Phuket with a tight victory achieved over a lively Uni Wanderers of Perth, in yellow & white, also making their debut at the Phuket Sixes. The Wanderers had put on a challenging 81 in their innings but Toorak were just equal to the task taking victory on the last ball. The Bowl final saw the Bounty Buccaneers from Malaysia beat Wild Men from Borneo by 97 - 55 runs. The Spoon final also saw a decisive victory for Guwahati Town from India over Black Swans from Australia, 88 - 49 runs. The 4 day tournament saw almost 144 cricket balls used after they were hit high and far with many lost in the jungle hill and over the beach road beside the stadium.
