Dev Tiwari 2-4(2) and Isa Abbas 2-3(2) opened the bowling in style. Anhad Sheikh, Michael Boyle, Aaditya Batla, Samuel Baker and Ciaran Feakes all kept it tight. In with a big chance to upset Zurich, the batsmen, who had been disappointing through the tournament, showed up when it mattered. The team cantered home for the loss of just 3 wickets. Erik Scanlon 16(22) led the line with special mentions for Patrick Rechter, Anhad Sheikh and Isa Abbas who batted their full quota of balls. Well done lads.
