Posted on July 3, 2024 | Leave a comment

3s produced a very impressive 95 run against Portcullis at the Duthie Park, knocking over the hosts for just 77 replying to Grammar’s 172 all out. After contributions throughout from Murphy (30), Mo Waheed (18) and Ben Garwood (15), Kashif at 10 played an excellent hand making 33 not s he and Aryan Gupta added 38 for the last wicket to really put Grammar in a strong position.

Kashif then starred with the ball taking 3 for 26 well supported by fellow opening bowler Upadhyaya with 3 for 20. Ben Garwood then knocked over the lower order with 3 for 8 with Navaid claiming 1 for 14.

It was a very impressive win for 3s who next face Methlick away before the cup semi on Sunday against Grampian.

Man of the Match
Kashif for his all round showing.

2s Suffer Last Ball Heartache

Posted on July 2, 2024 | Leave a comment

After the euphoria of last week’s last gasp win against Grampian, 2s were on the wrong end of a dramatic finish as needing 3 to win from the final ball Mohammed Khan hit the last ball for 4 to complete a dramatic win for 2nd Masterblasters. In a game that ebbed and flowed, Grammar posted a very useful 211 for 7, with Masood (33), Amjad (25) the highest contributors, but runs scored through out the team without anyone going big.

Masterblasters seemed to have everything in hand at 170 for 3 but when Naveed Ul-Hassnan (4/48) ran through the middle order, Grammar seemed favourites with their opponents 191 for 7. However an 8th wicket stand of 20 edged Masterblasters home at the very last moment. 2s remain in 2nd place and next up face a tricky game against Fraserburgh at Rubislaw.

Man of the Match
Naveed Ul-Hassnan for his wickets and late runs.

3s Stun Broch in the Cup

Posted on June 27, 2024 | Leave a comment

3s produced a marvelous midweek performance at Fraserburgh to keep their cup dream alive as they advanced to the semi final in fine style. Batting 1st, Grammar made a very useful 139 for 6, Nasseri crashing 4 sixes in an unbeaten 45 but once again there was good support throughout. The only blemish was skipper Babar Kamal being struck by a short delivery which necessitated an overnight stay in hospital, thankfully he is expected to make a full recovery and was buoyed by the excellent win.

With the ball, Nasseri was the hero as well, bagging 3 for 9, including the key wicket of Bowie who top scored with 27.

Grammar face 2nd Masterblasters in the semi final.
