MADRID GAIN FIRST LEAGUE VICTORY OF THE SEASON
Madrid put Saturdays woeful performance behind them with a 91 run victory over league rivals Mojacar to give them one victory and one loss from this weekends excursion to La Manga.
Skipper Doust won the toss and decided that Madrid should bat. It must have been a difficult decision after seeing his team blown out for just 55 in the game against La Manga the day before, but his confidence in the Madrid batsmen paid off as they posted a total of 190 all out off 41.5 overs.
Most of Madrids batsman contributed with the middle order of Fernandez (30) Baker (32) and Daniel (29) being the main impetus for the Madrid score. Redpath again was amongst the wickets for Mojacar, following up the 5 he took in the last match with another 3 in this game. Milnthorpe and Ahmed also got a couple of wickets each in a bowling performance that all the Mojacar bowlers can be happy with.
In reply Mojacar stuttered to 19 for 2 but a 43 run stand between Davies and Ali kept the game in the balance. However, the fall of the 3rd wicket at 62 signalled a major collapse for Mojacar, as they lost their last 7 wickets for only 37 runs. Chandarimani was the main thorn in Mojacsr´s side with a match winning 4 for 26 off 4 overs. He was ably supported my Steven Baker who took 3 for 11 from 3.5 economical overs.
Mojacar also failed to provide a scorer so they unfortunately lost two points from the six points they obtained in the game. Madrid received 3 batting points, 5 bowling and 10 for the win to give a final points score of Madrid 18 points and Mojacar 4 points.
