Falcon KOTC, reigning Cup holders Lanka Lions, and hosts Southerners were the three leading teams after day one at the Chaophya Park Hotel Thailand International Cricket Sixes in the beautiful surroundings of the Harrow International School.
The nine teams and officials from all over the world arrived in fine form after a pleasant opening function at the Crossbar pub on Friday evening. When proceedings got underway the Lanka Lions of Singapore carried on where they left off last year with a fine win against the Vatsa Sporting Club from Mumbai. Sampath starred with a retirement with Padmanabhan Appan following suit although it wasn’t quite enough for the Indians.
Kuwaiti Falcon KOTC saw off Pattaya CC and the Asian All Stars with Sajid and Vinay starring with the bat. Southerners battled through injuries with great fortitude to win their two preliminary games with victories against the second team from Kuwait, Skylarks and the CBB SKs with youngster Aminwal leading the way.
Other games saw Vatsa’s chase down 50 to beat the CBB SCs, Skylarks set a far too daunting total for the CBB SK’s and Pattaya steam roll the Asian All Stars.
The teams were then ranked from one to nine and divided into groups of three to play for the Cup, Bowl and Plate.
The final games of the day saw a Bowl game in which Pattaya won a low scoring game against Skylark to take pole position in the group before proceedings were bought to a close by a battle royal between the two CBB teams in which the SKs collected bragging rights in a nail biting finale.
The teams adjourned to the Chaophya Park Hotel to enjoy a Gala Dinner to enjoy the free flowing refreshments from sponsors San Miguel and to share many happy memories while making friendships through cricket.
Finals day play starts at 9am on Sunday morning at Harrow with food and beverages available. All are welcome and admission is free.
