On Saturday Marsa C.C met Krishna C.C in their last meeting of the Skanska summer league which was to decide the winners of the tournament.

Marsa won the toss and elected to field first. Glen Tavilla and Tariq opened the batting for Krishna. Tavilla started of the innings in style straight driving Caruana’s first ball for four runs and hit Desmond Don Paul for another two fours in the following over. Tariq who was facing the last ball of the second over lofted a ball towards mid on which should have been caught by Caruana but was let off.

The next ball Tariq faced was of Caruana's bowling and he hit the ball straight back to the bowler and this time no mistake was made in taking the catch. Mark Sacco was the next batsman in and made 15 runs before being stumped. Krishna's next batsman Andrew Naudi took the game away from Marsa hitting a magnificent fifty three runs from twenty four balls including seven fours and one six.

Tavilla ended making 36 runs including six fours. Sam Dhandapani made 20 runs before being caught by Farrugia at deep mid wicket. Pierre Audi made 17 runs before being run out. Krishna totalled 171 runs. For Marsa Nowell Khosla was the main wicket taker with two wickets.

Jonathan Tully opened the batting for Marsa and smashed 32 runs including a massive six off Andrew Naudi. Nowell Khosla also made 24 runs to add to his two wickets. Mike Caruana was then run out on the first ball he faced. Ronnie Sacco hit 21 runs off 18 balls. Denver Don Paul hit 29 runs of 24 balls. Sarfraz Ali was also run out on 11 runs and John Grima was caught for 26 runs. In the last over John Farrugia was left to make 12 runs off three balls to win the game but clever bowling by Pierre Naudi left the Marsa team stranded on 160 runs.

Krishna won the game. Even by losing the game Marsa have lifted the Skanska Summer Trophy. For the second year running Krishna have come in second place.

Next week Overseas and Melita play at 1pm to decide third and fourth placing.
