ICC CHALLENGE LEAGUE 2- MATCH SUMMARY

Match Day: 1- vs Denmark

Date: 26/09/24

Barras won their first game against the Denmark Cricket team by 6 wickets in the ICC Challenge League 2 tournament in Kenya.

The bowling attack led by Man of the match Kabua Vagi Morea (5/29), demolished the Denmark batting line up to be all out for 80 runs. Alei Nao (4/20) and Micheal Charlie (1/8) supported Morea well which resulted in Denmark posting a very low total. Charlie was the unluckiest of the three getting two of his wickets dropped, which could have impacted on the total.

Batting started shakily for the Barras as the top four batsmen were all back in the sheds after some rushed shorts from the frontline batsman. Patience and cool heads from Hiri Hiri (28 not out) and Kipling Doriga (6 not out) saw the Barras through for their first win of the tournament. Sese Bau was the only other batsman to get into double figures for the Barras. Patience and better short selection were talked about, amongst other things, in the Barras team match review and the batsman agreed to put a much better effort in the next game.
