On Saturday the scheduled game against Mezica C.C had to be cancelled. Only four players were able to make the trip and a friendly game between Krishna C.C and Melita C.C took place. The Slovenia players were included in each of the teams.

The Krishna team batted first and could only muster up 95 runs from the 20 overs, nowhere near what they make in the IPL or the Champions league.

Bikram Arora showed some of his best form smashing 36 runs including four sixes. Dhruv Duggal was the only other batsmen to make it to double figures - he made 17 runs.

Kevin Krishna was the pick of the Melita bowlers taking three wickets. Blaz Praper and Joy Ghoseroy took two wickets each while Tony Slater and Dave Borg took a wicket each.

In an amazing game the Melita team could only make 76 runs and were bowled out. John Grima top scored with 20 runs while Blaz Praper scored 19.

Four bowlers – Adam Krishna, Justin Brooke, Sarfraz Ali and Bikram Arora – all took two wickets each. The highlight of the game was the catching by Dhruv Duggal, Tony Slater (two each) and Dave Borg.

Next weekend the Marsa C.C take on Abbots Langly C.C and The Forty Club, both teams from the United Kingdom.
