The Tigers were heating up as all 4 one day teams win in the blistering heat. 4th and 6th Grade have challenging days next week.
4th Grade have a challenge next week in their game vs Roleystone. Batting first we were dissapointing to only post 101 with Haroon top scoring with 20, but we hit back with 2/24 from 17 overs late in the day, Shazad Rafique with 2/7. A big day from our bowlers next week to keep us in the hunt for a finals appearance.
6th Grade batted first in their game vs Hilton/Bicton and posted 7/135 in 50 overs with Liam Bastin scoring 39 and Jackson Curthoys 27. We have 6 more overs to bat next week in a 56 over match. A big game for us to hold top spot.
7th Grade will play a 38 over match next week.
ODA had back to back wins when they beat ladder leaders Phoenix at home. Bowling first in a 30 over game they kept Phoenix to 8/146, Yeshwanth Kallem taking 3/26 and Manoj Kiradi 2/16. The chase was swift as we passed their score in just 20 overs, Yeshwanth Kallem having a great all round game with 54 from 44 balls and Dwarakanath Canakapalli Naga 25. Still a chance at finals if we win all the remaining games.

Batting first we posted 186 from 30 overs with opener Eldose Paul smashing 111 runs with 8 fours and 7 sixes, along with 48 extras the next highest score was 13. A truly brilliant innings.
