All-rounder Neil Narvekar impresses in overseas league bagging 4wkts vs Star CC in the Washington Cricket League

Played in the United  States, The Washington Cricket League which has the likes of International stars like Salman Butt, Mohamad Asif, Rusty Theron amongst many other players also has our very own Mumbai boys making us proud from there. Swapnil Salvi and Neil Narvekar who are experienced Mumbai cricketers are also amongst the ones who have participated and in one of the recent matches Neil bowled really well.

Potomac CC and Star CC took on each other where in Potomac CC batted first notching up 175/10 in 30.5 overs in the 40-over game with opener Ajay Nagarajan scoring a well crafted 54 off 49balls (4fours, 3sixes) top scoring for Potomac CC as the rest of the batsman crumbled. Richardson Sacrias was impressive with the ball bagging 5/54 in 8overs being the pick of the bowlers for Star CC.

Even though a target of 176 is chaseable easily but Potomac CC defended really well with the help of their bowlers and especially Neil Narvekar and Sarabjit Ladda. Right arm off spinner Neil came up with bowling figures of 4/35 in 7overs which changed the course of the game while Sarabjit’s bowling figures read 4/42 in 8overs. Both the bowlers bowled really tight taking wickets at regular intervals which helped Potoman CC defend a low total as Star CC was all out for 138runs in 27overs.

Potoman CC won the match by 37runs while Ajay, Sarabjit and our very own Mumbai boy Neil coming out at the bright prospects.
