And after having been blessed so abundantly with awesome rain, we were finally able to have some cricket! However, the scheduled 1st XI T20 semi-final against Wanderers could not take place due to a wet outfield and Wanderers went through due to a superior log position.- CCD 2 vs. Wanderers DistrictCCD 2 got 2021 off to a bang, restricting Wanderers to 126 for 9 in a rain-shortened 32 overs. The highest wicket taker was run-outs, with four batsmen being dismissed in this fashion.Norbert Manyande led the chase with 36 with minor contributions from the rest of the batting order, along with 18 extras. CCD 2 won by 3 wickets in the 30th over.- CCD 3 vs. Green MambasCCD 3 also bowled first in their first game of the new year, dismissing the Mambas for 83 inside 20 overs. It’s not often you take 3 for 21 in 6 overs as Sj Loftie-Eaton did and do not end up the best bowler of the match, but when your teammate takes 6 for 21 in 6 overs, that is exactly what happens. Well done Jared Matthews!Loftie-Eaton also scored 48 from 42 deliveries to take CCD 3 to victory in the 15th over by 7 wickets.- CCD 3 vs. NDFThe scheduled match between CCD 3 and NDF did not take place, due to the opposition not arriving at the field.Well done CCD! It’s a good start to 2021.
