(MENAFN- Arab Times) DFC Salmiya defeated tournament favorites Goan Boys to win 8th BEC RadnBlack T10 cricket tournament organized by Rednblack cricket club. The final was held on Nov 28, 2014 at Abu Halifa Cricket Stadium.
DFC captain Sayilesh won the toss and elected to bat first, seemed to be a wrong decision as the openers fell cheaply. Opener Arun fell on the very first ball, thanks to the wonderful bowling form of Javed during the whole tournament. Other opening batsman Nithin who was the master blaster for DFC during the whole tournament also fell cheaply.
Then captain Sayilesh anchored the rescue followed by some cracking shots from Arun and Ashar in the final over which helped DFC to accumulate 76 runs in the last 5 overs to end their innings for 109 runs in 10 overs for the loss of 5 wickets. Javed of the Goan Boys was the pick of the bowlers with a figure of 3 for 13 in 2 overs.
In reply, Goan Boys started in a slow pace that lasted whole their innings. Their batsmen never cope with the required run rate of 11 runs an over. Their batsmen fell on regular intervals and the relief was some entertaining shots from Bablu in the last overs which proved not enough to reach the targetof 110 and Goan Boys end their innings with a total of 82 for 5 wickets in 10 overs.
