GREATER MANCHESTER AMATEUR CRICKET LEAGUE
Salford Blue Jays CC 170-9
South Manchester CC 131
Salford won by 39 runs
A solid batting performance enabled Salford Blue Jays to come away with victory against basement battlers at Cheetham Hill.
Salford won the toss and chose to bat, which looked an excellent decision as they raced to 70 for the loss of just one wicket within nine overs. However, an excellent catch by Daniel Paul saw Indy dismissed for 18 and when Kaushal was out LBW for 39, Salford needed to consolidate.
A watchful partnership between Josh Dansky and Rafi Dines saw the Blue Jays to the 20-over break but when Dines was bowled shortly after, it was left to Dansky to shepherd the inning through the remaining overs. This he did with aplomb, being eventually dismissed for 38 as looked to hit out.
