Faisel wrote: "Splendid performance today, gentlemen.
From a precarious position at 10 for 3 to reaching a respectable total of 121—and then proceeding to defend it with composure and discipline—this was, without doubt, a superb collective effort.
A particular word of praise for Ziggy, whose innings was nothing short of exemplary—a true display of class and temperament.
Equally commendable was the opening spell from Afghan and Ahsan, who applied sustained pressure through to the eighth over, setting the foundation for our eventual success.
That makes it four victories from four—a most commendable run of form.
Onward and upward, lads."

Man of the match: Ahsan Faraz with his fifer ball after taking 5 wickets against Kenton Super Yams. Earlier he retired not out on 51 and also took a catch off his own bowling. Ahsan's fifer is believed to be the first on record for the Old Fallopians in the Victoria Park Community Cricket League.
