VALENCIA STUN CITY RIVALS VALENCIA GREEN
Valencia 71 for 5 beat Valencia Green 70 all out by 5 wickets.
Valencia served notice of the league intentions with a comprehensive 5 wicket victory over city rivals and last years leagues runners up Valencia Green.
Valencia won the toss and elected to field, a decision that paid immediate dividends. Only 3 Green players reached double figures as Faisal and Safraz took 4 wickets each and Waseem took the othe two to destroy Green in the space of only 15 overs.
Valncia made hard work of chasing down such a meagre total on a good wicket losing Navid early on. Usman and Tahir steadiedthe ship before the latter was needlessly run out for a personal score of 13. Mudassar, Naveed and Faisal all went cheaply but Usman found an ally in Ahshan and the pair saw Valencia home with 5 wickets and 23.3 overs to spare.
Valencia received 17 points from the game and Green just got the 2 bowling points. The next ECCL 1 games are Madrid 1 v Valencia Green and Madrid United v La Manga 1, both at La Manga on Saturday 7th of May, both 11.00 starts
