Rain Helps Akshar B Past Naivasha

Due to heavy overnight rain, yesterday's Akshar League game started at around 11am to allow some of the damp to evaporate. Akshar B won the toss and decided to bat. Most of the batsmen made starts and at one stage it looked that they might cross the 245 mark. None of them could capitalise to make a big score however and Naivasha did well to curtail the progress in the end.

.
Naivasha's reply saw the Akshar B bowlers starting well, but the wicket keeper dropped Amardeep when he was on nought, and then again when he was on 20 which he capitalised on to make a fine 46 not out. A couple of wickets at the other end kept the run rate down and when Naivasha's captain, Dharam, came to the crease it looked like rain was imminent with the match only just tilted in Akshar's favour. He immediately set about trying to raise the rate by hoisting Ramesh over the midwicket fence, but the heavens opened and the match had to be abandoned. Akshar B take the win on run rate, a tough result for Naivasha who may have felt they were in with a sniff otherwise.
