Op het goddelijke KZ veld, met dito weer speelde een sterk HCC-4 makkelijk naar de winst. Oud captain Jan Nuijten was weer eens van de partij, Hamid Mir maakte 70 runs en pakte 5 wickets voor weinig. HCC-4 ging met nog een paar overs te gaan vrij soepel over het totaal van 155 heen met nog 4 wickets in handen.

The captains perspective:

The most potent weapon in the hand of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. Yes, we captured their mind and their imagination, we mesmerized them, and slowly but surely we put them in trance.
Classic chase, they challenged us with 156 runs. Like a warrior we fought against a tiger (tiger lost).
Our victorious gladiator Hamid Mir played a remarkable innings (70 runs). Although he has played many innings in his life this one was definitely special, as everyone else was getting out and he was basically left alone in the battlefield with the pressure slowly mounting around him. But he held his nerve and found the proper gaps and placements (deep square leg was easy for getting 4’s). They used every Machiavellian tactic they knew against him. But his highly skilful straight forward bat and rolling shots make them absolutely mad.
Other sizeable batting contributions were made by Adeel – a quick 20 run smash including a huge six, Jart (18) and Peter Berg (11). Hamid Mir was also by far the best bowler with 5 wickets for only 14 runs in 6 overs. Other noticeable bowing actions were by Faysal (2 for 33 in 6 over).
