REPORT: MATCHDAY 2 – Märsta denied hat-trick of wins at Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm after dramatic defeat to Djurgårdens

Hotly-fancied Märsta CC were denied a hat-trick of wins at the Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm after losing a last-ball thriller to Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening on Tuesday.

Märsta’s first opponents were newcomers Värmdö CC, a club formed only last year. Winning the toss and batting first, Värmdö racked up 76 and were heavily indebted to Najeeb Akhlaqi’s fluent 40 off 27 balls - the only score above seven, apart from extras in the innings. The ever-reliable Waqas Haider with 3-17 and Sweed Ullah 2-12 did the damage with the ball. In reply, Märsta made heavy weather of the target, losing three early wickets with an impressive Khaled Anwar taking 2-5. However, Hamid Mehmood remained calm and composed at the crease, and in tandem with skipper Sweed Ullah took Märsta to victory with 11 balls to spare.

 

In the second game of the day, Stockholm Tigers racked up 114 on the back of opener Raz Imtiaz’s 44, well supported by Ahmed Kawser and Arif Hossain. Alby Zalmi U23 fell behind the asking rate early, until Ismail Zia hit two sixes and a four in the seventh over to give his side a glimmer of hope. But following Zia’s dismissal, Alby Zalmi’s youngsters chase fizzled out. Rashedul Islam bagged three wickets as the Stockholm Tigers clawed their way to a first victory by 26 runs.

Märsta CC returned for their second game of the day to face Stockholm Super Kings, who had won one and lost one on the opening day. Märsta opener Waqas Haider walloped 51 off 19 balls, including six sixes to set the tone. The Ullah brothers, Aweem and Sweed helped Märsta muster 131. Despite Rahul Gowthaman’s 55 off 30 balls, the Super Kings never threatened the target, bogged down by Hamid Mehmood’s 2-8.

Looking for back-to-back wins, Stockholm Tigers managed 92 against Saltsjöbaden CC on the back of Ahmed Kawser’s unbeaten 52 off 22 balls. Shah Zeb and Khurshed Alam both bagged a couple of wickets apiece to stem the flow of runs. In reply, Saltsjöbaden CC got off to a blistering start, taking 19 runs off the opening over, combined with the unfortunate injury to Tigers opening bowler Akash Islam. Captain Muhammad Munir saw his side home with a composed innings as Saltsjöbaden waltzed home with seven balls remaining.

In the final game of the day, Märsta CC met Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening in a meeting of two highly-fancied and unbeaten sides. Märsta mustered 101 with Aweem Ullah the main man with 41 off 23 balls. Serge Conein and Liam Karlsson each bagged a couple of wickets to peg back the scoring rate. In reply, captain Mitchell O'Connor led the way with 31 off 16, taking advantage of a series of dropped catches. Shahzeb Choudhry was put down in the final over with the game in balance. Needing 3 to win off the final ball, Choudhry clubbed the ball powerfully to the boundary and the batsmen were able to scramble 3 for the win. Djurgårdens IF Cricketförening had managed the highest successful chase of the Dream11 European Cricket Series Botkyrka Stockholm so far.
