Not blue sky thinking
Pacific v Sky 2 at Victoria Park Pitch 1
Tue 13 Jun 2023 at 6pm
Lost 3 wickets
Victoria Park Community Cricket League fixture

The cup first round continued tonight as Sky 2 earned a tense victory in the final over against Pacific, setting up a second round tie with Camel Lights. [Pacific struck 157-5, with Rizwan smashing a rapid 51, alongside 39 from opener John Deighan. In reply, Sky 2 slipped to 50-2 before 54 from Azman Shahan and 52 from Shahi earned Sky victory with three balls to spare.
NB Aroon was not run out coming back for a 2 which would have meant the return of retired 50* Rizwan! Not illegal but barely in the spirit of the game. 

Before the run out that wasn’t
