On Saturday the Marsa team took on SGS Holland C.C.

The Marsa team won the toss and elected to bat. Cousins Sunny Krishna and Adam Krishna opened the innings. Sunny, who is developing into one of the most exciting batsman to watch scored a quickfire 20 runs which included three fours from 21 balls faced, before being LBW. In came Malcolm Crabbe who also wanted to prove that he can get a run a ball with a magnificent innings of 92 runs from 90 balls (highest individual score against a touring team, this year). He scored ten fours along the way.

The partnership between Crabbe and Krishna of 125 was also the highest for this year. Interestingly enough Crabbe was also involved in the previous highest partnership of 101 with Joy Ghoseroy.

Javed Shah scored 10 runs and John Grima 14. Adam Krishna was not out in the 40 overs. Krishna played a supportive role to the other batsmen and made his first 50 along the way and ended with 59 runs.
