Jakarta, The Jakarta Post<\/p>\n
ISCI CC and Indorama CC both won their respective cricket semi-
\nfinal matches on Sunday and will play each other in the JCA Grand
\nFinal on May 2 at Cibubur, East Jakarta..<\/p>\n
ISCI CC took on Rebels CC at Cibubur in a close fought match.<\/p>\n
The Rebels, who had won their previous two qualifying games to
\nmake their way to the semi-final were confident in their batting
\nability but never really got on top of ISCI's strong bowling
\nattack.<\/p>\n
ISCI eventually won the game by 10 runs. ISCI won the toss and
\nelected to bat first, posting a total of 181 for five in their
\nallotted 35 overs, with John Stevenson taking home top scoring
\nhonors with 51 and Wilfred Schultz making a determined 42, the
\npick of the Rebels bowlers were Simon Turnbull (1 for 21) and
\nMatt Cheetham (1 for 24) who both bowled tightly and maintained a
\ngood line throughout.<\/p>\n
The Rebels came close, requiring 18 runs off the last over,
\nbut only managed to score 7 finishing on 171 for 8. An injured
\nMatt Hegarty managed 39, Matt Cheetham contributed 30 and skipper
\nMarten Eddy brought the Rebels close with a quick 23. For ISCI,
\nTim Watson stood out, taking 3 wickets for 21 and three catches,
\nand Ben Finlay playing in only his third game for ISCI taking two
\nwickets with his leg-spin bowling.<\/p>\n
Indorama CC took on Perkasa CC at the low scoring Karawang
\nfield in the other semifinal. Perkasa won the toss and elected
\nto bat first, but quickly found themselves at 3-3 and at the
\nfirst drink break were 39-5.<\/p>\n
Perkasa were able to close the innings at 112 for 8 off their
\n35 overs, with Venkat Krishna being the only batsman to trouble
\nthe scorers making a solid 40. Rakesh Raturi (3 for 24) and
\nSrikanth ( 2 for 13) of Indorama finished with impressive bowling
\nfigures.<\/p>\n
Indorama, in their innings, had a shaky start losing 4 quick
\nwickets for only 22 runs, after an impressive first spell by
\nPerkasa's Manimaren (3 for 21), but in the end 112 was never
\nreally going to be enough, and despite losing a couple of further
\nwickets along the way Indorama was able to patiently accumulate
\nthe necessary runs to win the game during the penultimate over by
\n2 wickets.<\/p>",
