UNITED CC HARXIN CORPN CRUSADERS TOP TWENTY20 ROUND-ROBIN LEAGUE, BUT LOSE TO MANUKAU IN THE GRAND FINAL

21 Jan 2012

The United CC Harxin Corporation Crusaders finished at the top of the round-robin standings of the CMCA Reserves Twenty20 Competition after comprehensively beating Pukekohe Metro by 28 runs in the Round 3 match at Bruce Pulman Park, Papakura on Saturday, 21st January 2012. Although the Crusaders finished with the same number of points (8) as Manukau & Pukekohe Metro, their superior Net Run Rate (NRR) easily earned them the top spot, while Manukau & Pukekohe had to slug it out for the second spot through an extensive use of the calculators, with Manukau narrowly edging out Pukekohe. 

In the Grand Final, which was officiated by CMCA's official umpire, Ash Mehrotra, the Crusaders failed to put enough runs on the board & folded up for 95 in 18.2 overs, but made Manukau work hard for the required runs, getting rid of their top five batsmen for 72 runs, but thereafter dropping four catches & the Twenty20 title, as Manukau crossed the line with 4 wickets to spare.
