Champs Florida International too much for WID
The Florida Southeast Cricket League 40 overs 2008 cricket final between Florida International and WID, at Brian Piccolo Park-North, on Sunday April 27, drew a large crowd that was thoroughly entertained by an exciting ending, as Florida International edged out WID by 5 runs to take the title.
Batting first after winning the toss, Florida International was dismissed for a competitive 205 after 38.1 of the allotted 45 overs. Reeling on 83 for 5, it took Waseem Shezada’s stroke-filled 50, laced with 6 fours and 2 sixes and Syed Hassan’s solid 40 which included 4 fours, to put some stability back in the innings.
The two shared a face-saving 79 run sixth wicket partnership. Helping to boost the total, Mohammad Mazhar scored 35 (2 fours & 2 sixes), Asim Nujeeb 23 (3 fours), Shanawer Chughti 19 (2 fours) and Khrum Shaukat 12 (2 sixes). Bowling for WID, Vickram Ramourtiar took 3 for 31 in a tidy spell of 7 overs, Sajid Mohammed 2 for 21 from 3.1 and Anand Maharaj 2 for 37 from 8.
In reply, WID chasing 206 for victory, and looking good on 127 for 3 after 20 overs, suddenly collapsed to 186 for 8, which made the situation very tense and enthralling with 20 runs for victory off 24 balls. In the end, with 6 runs for victory and 9 balls left, Russel Mohammed (13) going for a six to win the match, was caught on the edge of the straight boundary, to give Florida International the 40 overs title by just 5 runs.
A very good all-round performance came from Ramourtiar, who scored a valiant 42 (4 fours & 2 sixes), Whilst Tom Ramkissoon 25 (2 fours), Nick Saladeen 24 (4 fours), Sajid Mohammed 23 (3 fours), Neil Mungal 17 and Anil Bhawani 12, all chipped in to no avail.
Bowling Florida International to victory and the championship, Hassan bagged 4 for 28 from 7 overs, Naveed Ahmed 2 for 30 from 8.3, Shezada 1 for 43 from 8 and Kashif Chughti 1 for 48 from 6. To sum up, in the end Florida International proved too much for WID.
