Werrington are now the only unbeaten team in the Huntingdonshire Indoor League after the second round of matches. Werrington made it two wins out of two with a resounding 96 run win over Pak Azad. 3 Werrington players retired with 25 and they all returned with Shazad Akhter leading the way with an unbeaten 58. In reply the Pak Azad innings never really got going and they closed on 92 all out with Danny Iqbal (26) and Sharoz Hussain (24) their top scorers. The innings was undermined by the brilliance of Rashid Zafar who took 2-7 from 1.2 overs and also took a catch and a run out.
Due to unforeseen circumstances Bretton could not play on Sunday meaning the fixtures were rearranged with AK11 playing twice. Current champions Ak cruised to a 5-wicket victory over Wansford but came unstuck by 1 wicket to Ufford Park.
Wansford made 109 all out with Kester Sainsbury scoring 33. Abrar Ahmed, Sudheer Jafeer and Hamza Shamim all batted well and retired with 25 to see AK victorious with 19 balls remaining.
Against Ufford, AK set 146-5 with middle order man Zaheer Abbas top scoring with 56. Andy Larkin (2-26) and Stuart Elderkin (2-27) were the pick of the Ufford bowlers. Chasing 147 Ufford were in trouble at 63-3 but a brutal unbeaten 75 from Waheed Javed and 49 from opener Andy Larkin saw Ufford home with 2 balls remaining. Javed’s first three balls he faced were all hit for for 6 and he continued that trend with a brutal innings of 7 maximums and 1 four.
Hampton are also off the mark with their first win of the season with a convincing 6 wicket win against Sheikh. Sheikh’s score of 101-5 was built around scores of 38 from Usman Hanif and an unbeaten 24 from Sham Ali. Hampton captain Muhammad Zafar led the way with 2-6 and his team raced to victory with 2 players retiring and 16 balls remaining.
