Lack of runs grounds Service stars at Lord’s
A BELOW-par batting performance from the Army’s big hitters shattered hopes of victory in this year’s Inter-Services Twenty20 cricket final at Lord’s. After posting a meagre total of 116 all out the impetus was firmly handed to the Royal Navy who, after a flurry of early wickets, recorded a fine win at the world famous venue. With both teams easily beating the Royal Air Force in the day’s earlier matches, the onus was on the Army to post a commanding score and pile pressure on their Senior Service rivals ahead of the run chase. |
