238/6 vs 227/8 
Recap
Another one bites the dust…
A great day out for the Excelsior boys! It wasn’t easy, but we made it through. Mbekweni turned out to be a formidable opponent and hats off to them.
On an out and out batting pitch (totally different from the sticky one we played on two weeks ago), we decided that if we win the toss, we will bat. We claimed the toss due to the late arrival by the opponents and was set to bat.
Posting a total of 238/6 in the allotted 50 overs. An excellent partnership of 177 between Y Johnson(103) and D Walbrugh (52) set the bar for Mbekweni. Mbekweni fought back hard in their innings with L Mthandeki scoring 104 off 128 balls, but only to fall short with 11 runs.
A tight game and enjoyable at that. The Excelsior I team continue on their 2-game unbeaten run. There is still more to come as this team grows together and has the ability to overcome obstacles put in their path to win the league. #watch_this_space
