The GMIS JCA league games on Sunday followed a very different track to the nail-biting excitement that followed later in the day at the World Cup as Jaguar CC, Menara CC & Jakarta Barbarians recorded comfortable wins. This week’s action clearly favored the batsmen with 3 score of 80 plus and an unbeaten ton.
Jaguar CC took on WPP India XI in a crucial 35 overs game which would impact their chances of avoiding relegation to Division 2. Dhiraj Nagpal struck early with two back-to-back wickets, but Hanan Khalid was holding firm at the other end. He got good support from Karanjit Singh & Harry Sidhu as Jaguar CC put up a huge score of 226 with Hanan carrying his bat and hitting an unbeaten ton in the process.
Th WPP India XI batting didn’t click once again and Waqar Ali and Jagdeep Singh had WPP reeling at 58 for 6. Just when all looked lost for them, Farid Ahmad & Harshit Gupta fought back with a superb 87 run stand and brought WPP right back into contention with 82 needed in the last 11 overs. Waqar Ali returned to break the partnership and with it any hopes of WPP India XI registering their first win of the season.
