Ishan’s Impressive debut for Dawnheights Cricket Club
Ishan Kalia
Ishan Kalia opened the bowling with him taking 2 wickets in his opening over and 1 in his second and another in his third. Edges and mishits from all the batsmen carried effortlessly to the boundaries resulting in a high run rate and kept the scoreboard ticking over. A 53 run 5th wicket stand between S. Veeramajoo and N Singh kept the Dawnheights bowlers at bay with some big hits mixed with some streaky boundaries. Veerajamoo fell to the bowling of Y Banda with a catch on the boundary by Man of Match Ishan Kalia. Ishan was brought back into the attack and his first ball completed his 5 wicket haul. Wickets kept falling thereby resulting in Flipside being all ount in the 2st over, setting a target of 161 for Dawnheights.
Malcolm Naidoo and Shivaan Singh opened the batting and in the 3rd over Flipside removed M Naidoo. Shivvan fell on 41. Captain A Ramduth fell on 26 and lunch was taken with Dawnheights on 115/4 after 17 overs. Ishan (21 not out capped a remarkable 50 over debut) joined Raj at the crease and they decided to finish the match with some aggressive, big hitting. Raj Verma ended on 51 not out that saw Dawnheights win by 5 wickets.
