The Cricket Summer league continued on Saturday with the unbeaten Marsa team playing the Krishna team who just scraped through beating the Overseas C.C last week.

The Krishna team batted first and put up a reasonable score of 132 runs after the 20 overs were bowled.

Dhruv Duggal set this up with 32 runs from 20 balls. He hit four fours - three of them in a row. He also hit a wonderful six over mid wicket.

Bikram Arora did his bit scoring 38 runs from 29 balls which included three sixes and a four. Nowell Khosla played a subdued innings of 23 runs from 29 balls.

After these, only Pragnesh made it into double figures scoring 16 runs.

For the Marsa team, George Agius was the main wicket taker with two, while Tony Azzopardi, Ronnie Sacco, Sarfraz Ali and Sunil all took a wicket each.

Were the Marsa team going to keep there winning ways? Frank Spiteri opened the batting with Simon Lavendar (you could not ask for a better pair). They were going along nicely, (but under a run a ball).

They were both out in consecutive overs from Bikram Arora, Spiteri making 18 runs and Lavendar 15. Sunny Krishna made 17 runs from 23 balls which included one four and one six.

George Agius followed up his bowling with a fine innings of 30 runs from 26 balls which included four fours. Unfortunately for the Marsa team this was not enough and Krishna won the game.

Bikram Arora ended up with three wickets as did Kevin Krishna. Robert Krishna took two wickets while Dhruv Duggal and Pragnesh took a wicket each.

With the win Krishna have given themselves an outside chance of winning the league. Melita Betfair lead the standings with 39 points, Marsa are still second even after losing, with 35 points, Krishna are third with 31 points, POP Mellieha have 20 points and Overseas have 13.

Next Saturday Krishna play Overseas and Marsa play Melita Betfair.
