First league win of the 2023 season!!

On Saturday 20th May, ETCC 1st XI entertained Old Isleworthians/Hest CC at home in the 3rd round of the league season.

Much to the joy of captain Shahbaz Meer, ETCC won the toss and elected to bat first, on a beautiful sunny day in West London.

We posted 240 in our alotted 45 overs with highlights being a powerful know from Khalid Khan who smashed his way to 60 off 41 balls which included 11 boundaries and 1 maximum. Other notable performances was from new arrival Bilal Muhammad and Mikaylen Kistna who both scored 36 respectively. A late flurry from Aqab Ahmed catapulted the team into reaching the total of 240.

Old Isleworthians/Hest CC struggled with their run chase losing a wicket on the first ball of the innings as well as another wicket in the following over. There was an impressive spell of fast bowling from new recruits Aqab Ahmed and Hussain Ali who ran through the top order and leaving the visitors staring down the barrel at 18-3. On came the wizard Nizami, who claimed 5 scalps with his deceptive changes of pace and skill. This outstanding performance meant that Old Isleworthians/Hest CC were bowled out for 80.

This was an impressive performance by the team all round.
