Another friendly at Gymkhana Club saw CMCC defeat Lanna by 4 wickets in a high-scoring 30-over match and Tanveer was star of the day as he took three wickets with the ball and then made an unbeaten 50 as CMCC reached their target of 183 in 27.2 overs.
Prashant looked to be an outstanding addition to Lanna’s team as he made his first fifty for the club in Lanna’s total of 182 for 8. Jon Scales made 30 and Ben Barber, better known as an international rugby league player, hit 21.
It was a star-studded match with an international flavour as Alan Mullay again bowled well on his return to the cricket field and he would have been impressed with Chanchai’s bowling for CMCC as the 18-year-old Thai had outstanding figures of 2 for 10 in 6 overs.
CMCC are looking forward to the new league season which gets underway at Gymkhana on Sunday 27 November and they warmed up with a victory as Ismail made 44 and Basharat 21* but it was Tanveer who was star of the day.
