ISCI Cricket Club defeats NJCC

JAKARTA (JP): John Stevenson's bat carried local ISCI Cricket
Club past North Jakarta Cricket Club (NJCC) last Sunday in a
semifinal match of the Synergy Trophy on the grounds of the
Ceylon Cricket Club (CCC) in Cibubur, East Jakarta.

Stevenson scored 75 runs as ISCI put up a score of 7 for 173.
Paul Huston, 31 runs, and Wilfred Schultz, 22 runs, also helped
ISCI's winning effort. Ashwin, bowling for NJCC, gave up 36 runs
and took two wickets in seven overs. Bowler Sunil Tikku attempted
to keep NJCC in the match, taking one wicket and surrendering 24
runs in the last few overs.

NJCC won the toss and asked ISCI to bat. The match was
restricted to 35 overs.

Chasing a score of 173, NJCC put on a brave face, but lost the
match with their score of 163 all out, thanks in large part to
tight bowling and fielding by ISCI in the final overs. Jimmy
scored 44 runs for NJCC and John Stevenson, bowling for ISCI,
gave up 38 runs and took 3 wickets.

The final will be held this Sunday between ISCI and Indorama
Cricket Club at CCC in Cibubur. (lnt/anj)
