Hustlers vs Outlaws Result
We beat Outlaws! This was a match that we needed to win for two very important reasons: First to stay in contention for the playoffs and the other was for the “spirit” of the team. We accomplished both yesterday. Hustlers finally played like Hustlers. Excellent performances in batting, bowling and fielding from everyone.
Special acknowledgement to Mike Khan who has been very consistent with the bat scoring a superb 54. Man of the match however goes to Kevin Budhna with 43 runs and 3 wickets. We posted a very defendable 181 for 7 off of 25 overs. Outlaws chased and fell considerably short at 127 for 9 off of 25 overs…
We had a lot of supporters out there yesterday – thank you all…and once again the president graced us with his presence and kept things very lively on the outside…Thanks as well to the Budhna’s and Sattie Shewtahal for the delicious food.

Hustlers 2 Win, Hustlers Lost...
The good news first - Hustler 2 won...defeating Lehigh in another close match...congrats to the guys and details to follow from Chris Arjoon...
Now the bad news - Hustlers lost to Hurricanes Cricket. Hurricanes batted first scoring 181 runs all out in 24.3 overs. Mahendra Lall 51, Stevenson Collins 32, Paul Sukhnandan 27, Tribhu Roopnarine 22 and Morgan Harnarrine 18 not out. Romel Budhna took 4 wickets...
In the chase at the 13th over we were 66 for 6 with Mike Khan again batting very well scoring 30. In the next 8 overs we scored a blistering 88 runs with a very determined Vishnu Narine scoring 65 runs...at the end of the 21st over we were 154 for 7...we were all out at 23.4 overs for 161...it would have been an amazing comeback...but with Vishnu out, Hurricanes bowlers and very skilled fielders quickly finished the match...

Hustlers vs United 1 Result
We lost yesterday. But what a match this turned out to be...
United 1 batted first and posted a monumental 203 runs on the board - losing only 3 wickets. Superb batting from opener Andrew Permaul scoring 116 not out and a skilled innings from skipper Denah Persaud with 59 not out. Our bowling did not perform to its abilities - but more importantly you simply have to hold your catches to win games...
In the chase, our batsmen performed exceedingly well - Mike Khan 65 runs, Kevin Budhna 35 runs, Trevor Persaud 32 runs and Vinod Seeram 37 runs...this match was ours…at the end of 20 overs, we were 175 for3, needing just 29 runs from 30 balls. But with excellent catches and very good field placement, United 1 took the next 5 wickets for a combined 29 runs…our final score at the end of 25 overs, losing 8 wickets was --- 202 runs…Yes we lost by ONE run…
Thanks to United 1 for a match we will both remember for a very long time, thanks Hibiscus for the food and to all our families and supporters…see you all next week when we face defending champs – Hurricanes…
