Beijing Defeats Shanghai, Retains China Cup

The 2015 China Cup clash began with a win for Shanghai, Skipper Waqar Khattak calling the toss correctly and electing to bat. Good signs for a good day of cricket, with the weather markedly improved from the previous days arrival under cloudy skies. With luck seemingly going Shanghai’s way, this was the day to take back the china cup.

Shanghai started positively; Waqar and Yousaf Khan getting the innings off to a good start, no loss for 40 after 10 overs with positive stroke play from the opening pair taking making it look comfortable against the opening bowling attack. Even after the fall of both openers in quick succession Shanghai looked in a good position, with Wayne Voogt and Jonti Leibowitz taking over and rotating the strike well for a partnership that threatened to take the game away from Beijing.

SCC Pirates Grind Out Win Over China Women

China-Pirates1

Cricket was the winner on Sunday, May 3, as the SCC Pirates fought out a tough two wicket victory over the Chinese National Women’s team. The Pirates were a mixed team, selected out of volunteers from the Bashers, Hot Dogs and Pudong.

It was a clear, sunny day, and the Chinese captain won the toss and elected to bat. Chirag Bhansali started off with consecutive maidens, before striking in his third over, helped by a fine catch by Kerstin Petersen at cover. Amogh Kashyap was also bowling well from the other end, and the score after six overs had only managed to get to 16/1. The Chinese were maintaining a solid defense without scoring, and it took a fine piece of fielding from Amogh Kashyap to effect a run out from deep fine leg just before drinks.
