One of the best and most thrilling games so far was played in the MCA Cricket Summer League, between Marsa C.C and Overseas C.C.

The Overseas team batted first and made a reasonable total (not compared with the IPL league of India) of 124 runs. The Overseas had two players on loan for the game who top scored.

Andy Naudi made an impressive 42 runs which included four fours and a six. Dave Borg also scored four fours and a six in his 31 runs. Mike Caruana made 19 runs not out from 16 balls, John Bolland ten, David MacDonald, playing in his first game made eight and Adam Caruana two runs not out.

For the Marsa team Simon Lavendar and Sarfraz Ali took two wickets each while Tony Azzopardi and Ronnie Sacco took a wicket each.

The game looked lost for the Overseas, when by the tenth over the Marsa team had amassed 80 runs with a brilliant batting display from Simon Lavendar who scored 41 runs which included four fours.

Ronnie Sacco made 28 runs from 22 balls which included a six and a four.

A change in bowling from both ends saw a bowling partnership which saw of seven wickets. David MacDonald and Mike Caruana both took three wickets each and there was also a run out. With all these wickets falling and the overs ticking, the Marsa team still only needed six runs to win.

Facing the first ball was Daniel Galea, whose only task was to get of strike and let the experienced player Mark G.Sacco (12 runs) take over. Sacco did not get a run in the next ball, managed two runs each in the next two balls and made the winning run of the penultimate ball.

A good win for Marsa who earned eight points for the win and a great effort by the Overseas who earned one point.
