Galaxy Seal comprehensive 130 - run win Galaxy carried their success into the tournament with a 130-run win over Chicago Blues at the Mcaslin Park in Carol Stream on Sunday May 30th. The victory was set up by twin 40’s from Atef Mustafa and Naser Yamani - as they added 100 runs together for the 4th wicket and registered scores of 53 and 47 to take the Galaxy to 204 for 5 in 30 overs after winning the toss.Naser, back in the side played with the class and wristy flair to race to a fluent 47 with a massive Six over mid on. Atef went to score his first half century of the tournament with a slug to Square Leg. He stepped up a gear, after Naser’s departure pulling Atul to deep midwicket and swiping him high over square leg to take 13 from his solitary over.It was a familiar story as Chicago Blues set about their chase in fits and starts, losing wickets regularly as they were bowled out for 70 in the 15th over.Galaxian’s put in a team effort in the field, with every bowler except Safder and Anwar picking up at least one wicket. Kashif, Arvind and Asif got 2 wickets each.Naser and Atef were awarded Man of the Match, for their brilliant performances.Note: Galaxian’s had a fun filled BBQ after the game, and convey our deepest appreciation to their families and friends to make it happen on a Hot and Humid Day.When we all play together we win together. GO GALAXY!!! Kashif Zaheer MD |
