RWHGC 2nd were lucky on Sunday to win the Cup in Pakistan.

Manager Wilson bought a couple of big hitters before the match, and changed the team order and tactics up from the usual, it was a surprised win against a much stronger team and manager.

Now Wilson will have to juggle finances around before the end of the season.

NWKp put up a spirited fight in their chase of 203 but fell agonizingly short by just 13 runs, finishing at 190/2 after 20 overs.

After a cautious middle phase, Zakaullah (78 off 62) and Ainslie (37 off 23)* reignited hopes with a brilliant late partnership. Their clean striking in the final overs brought the team within touching distance, keeping the crowd on edge until the very last OVER.

Despite the loss, the performance highlighted the team’s growing confidence and ability to compete under pressure. The management commended the fighting spirit and promised to build on the positives ahead of the next fixture.

Final Result: NWKP – 195/3 (20 overs) | Lost by 7 runs
Top Scorers: Zakaullah 78 (62), Ainslie 37* (23)

1st in FC VI.4
1st in OD III.3
5th in T20 V.182

Rizwan scored 404 OD runs, but Bakhtiar 178.00 and Chisty 176.00 had far superior averages.
Mukhtiar 882 runs at 98.00 and Bakhtiar 867 at 95.22 had a battle royal in the FC season.
Taqueer managed 520 runs in the bash, but Bakhtiar produced a superb average of 124.75.

Bakhtiars averages of 178.00, 95.22 and 124.75 were exceptional and the 18-year-old took the club POTY award.

With the ball, Hadi took 21 at 17.48 and Askari19 wks at 10.74 in the OD gave good performances.
Badshah and Hadi had tied with 41 wickets in the FC league, both with averages under 8.00
In the bash, no bowler took more than 10 wickets.

In a first for the club, Dilshad Nadeem slammed an unbeaten 59 off 55 balls for Pak U19 WC game against Ned U19. Nadeem was also involved in an unbroken 133 run stand with Qaiser Saad (who hit an unbeaten 114) for the 4th wicket which helped Pak U19 post a winning total of 301.
The owner of the club, mailme018, was spotted in the suite at Gaddafi stadium cheering his star player. At the end of the match, mailme018 spoke to the reporter "All the members at allstarz are extremely proud of Nadeem as he continues to shine in his maiden season in Pak colors. We are very happy to see that his hard work contributes to the success of his team."
Nadeem has scored 99 runs in 3 games for U19 and is yet to be dismissed in this season's U19 WC campaign.

For the first time in the club's history, a player was called to the U19 national side. Club's owner, mailme018, informed Nadeem personally and then spoke at the club meeting at the allstarzCG,
"It's a historic day for the club. Nadeem becomes the 1st player in the club's history to participate in the national U19 matches. Nadeem is an extremely talented cricketer and ever since he was promoted from the club academy, the club has had high expectations from him. Today's call is a result of Nadeem's hard work, training and desire to give his very best in every match. On behalf of the entire group at the allstarz club, we are proud of Nadeem and congratulate him for this achievement"
Nadeem's family was present at the event and unsurprisingly were teary-eyed.

The new franchise has been placed in Karachi, Pakistan.

The plan is to play a homegrown squad; however Manager TonyAk has chickened out of this in the past and the fans are sceptical that the manager will follow through on this.

The club has inherited 10 competent players, 5 each of batters and bowlers. One of the bats is a mediocre bowler and might well be employed as a 6th bowler. The substitutes are dismal but only the wicket keeper is likely to see much action.

The team colours are green and red. This could well be a slow build, and the club await a list of opponents for the new season, as all three divisions were won with ease.

One week after the Poloc group took over Islamabad capital, they have won thier second trophey securing FC league VIII.17 to add to BT VI.491 Islamabad had already won. Tomorrow they play PSCK in the final game of OD IV.2 if they can win this they will also win the OD league and gain promotion.
Spiney has already began work on expanding the stadium and is investing in the youth setup and backroom staff.
In time for the next season Spiney hopes to add two or three experinced players.

Wobbly biyts are ready to shake up Pakistan cricket.

The elite eleven once again proofs why they are the team to fear in odi league they hold their strong position on the top. Playing in their home ground they made flat pitch to get fighting total so their bowlers can defend that against strong batting lineup of all devils rafi farooq and his troops bat first and put 383 on the board meanwhile captain of the team after close win thinks we still need to improve our bowling and also batsman finish game rafi thinks that yeah they made 300 plus runs but their batsman should finish on 400 plus runs when they got the start what they wanted with top 4 making runs with hakim ather is on purple patch he made another good 100 rafi also said that godzilla team are you ready for our next match we are coming to beat you and crushed you once and for all.

The elite eleven crushed Chorley CG at their home ground the pitch was uneven bounce but elite eleven bowlers keep things steady and simple and restrict chorley batsman to low total to chase and in chasing shakeel gets his mojo back along with his opening partner beaty who also with his bowling performance get the player of the match award its a good sign that elite won the match because they were down in last couple of matches they still trying to figure out best winning combination ithink rafi captain of the team will stick to shakeel and beaty opening as for t20 concern. They will look forward to win matches in future also they have tight fixtures coming they have score to settle with godzilla kings a good team last time when they fought the battle in fc that ended in draw.

The elite eleven lost couple of matches but that dosent mean that we have lost our moral or goal for the season we will come back stronger then ever we will fight till last ball of the match people always underestimate us but our captain rafi farooq is full of confidence that our team will bounce back with brave cricket tactics we will sort our combination there is a concern on shakeel forms but always remeber folks that form is temporary and class is permanent our team will win upcoming matches last couple of matches we lost in close incounters so we will never give up because we are elite eleven we are best in Pakistan and in the world thanks.

He is a destructive LM Bowler and has quite impressive records in club matches in all formats.
Best wishes from his club mates.

Manager Wilson has decided to move both teams, the teams will swap countries but obviously this will take a full season to happen.

South Africa & Pakistan will host the teams for next season, before completing the transition.

Hopefully Royal West Herts can succeed in India where RWHGC couldn’t.

After losing the Div 1 league title on NRR, Manager Wilson has made the decision to move to a new country.

Having given it a go against the might of India, coming away with a Cup victory, the finances to maintain the charge to win silverware was too great, finishing the season with barely any money.

The choice now is where to move too.

Good luck to all of Div 1 next season, Braves are the team to beat.

Bandara Gazali

*Vs Canada U19. Bowling 3-45; Batting 0(1) (win)

For the first time in the club’s History, Manager Wilson has guided the team to the top league in the One Day format, Wilson has been trying for years to do this, and on the back of the Cup Win, the clubs members are very happy.

They aging team are purely concentrating on the cup and OD league next season.

Finances are tight, so it remains to be seen, how far this team can go, against the Elite of Indian managers.

After many many seasons, trying to win a major, that goal was finally achieved by Manager Wilson, and his team.

This is a great day for the club, to finally join the legends of the game within the Indian community.

The next target is to finally reach Div 1 in the One Day Arena.
