Haiderys on the verge of Premier Division title

ON HIS WAY: A Luton Cricketers bowler wins this lbw appeal against Luton CC

Published on 13/07/2012 17:08

Luton Haiderys are edging closer to the Premier Division title as they recorded a comfortable victory over Luton Hawks on Tuesday night.

Haiderys elected to bat first and thanks to Kamber Hussain (42) reached 127-6.

In reply, Hawks were blown away for just 80 as Zeeshan and Rahim Azim took a couple of wickets each.

The defeat leaves Hawks in the relegation zone with three games left.

Haiderys will be hoping Majestics lose against AKCC on Thursday as this will confirm them as champions.

Majestics saw their match with AKCC called off due to rain.

Although the title has gone, Luton Pakistanis produced a stunning performance against bottom club Kingsway CC to keep in touch with second-placed Majestics.

Pakistanis batted first and, with Mohammed Haroon’s 23 giving them a decent start, they found it hard in the middle overs as Danial Ilyas (2-25) and Aftab Ali (3-17) kept things tight.

But it was left to some brutal hitting from Jilani Kabir (31 not out) and Irfan-Ul-Haq (16 not out) to push their side to 139-6.

Kingsway, who could have climbed out of the relegation zone with a win, did not get going as Tasir Hussain and Irfan-Ul-Haq claimed two wickets each to leave them on 94-8, despite Tabraiz Khan hitting 27.

Awais Fareed smashed 79 as Luton CC, 147-6, moved into second place in Division One by overcoming Luton Cricketers, 124-7.

Saracens’ game against Shaheen CC was called off due to rain.

AKXI secured an important win against bottom side Kashmir Cavaliers who find themselves bottom. Cavaliers were skittled out for just 57 with Nasir Mahmood claiming 3-15. AKXI then had little trouble chasing as Mahmood rounded off a great day with a fine knock of 29.

In Division Two, Luton Eagles have secured the title with Haidery Tigers finishing second.
