PNG Barras beat Hong Kong in T20 Series

The Hebou PNG Barramundis won the Hebou International T20 Series after beating Hong Kong by 69 runs in the final at Amini Park yesterday.

The Hebou PNG Barramundis continued their impressive form in the T20 Series by posting another imposing total of 9/161 off their allotted 20 over in the final.

It was a team effort with a total of five Barramundis’ batsmen scoring more 20 runs throughout the innings, with Assad Vala top scoring with the bat with a brilliant 37 runs off just 33 balls. Tanveer Ahmed was the stand-out bowler for Hong Kong, taking an incredible 5/48.  

In reply, Hong Kong got off to a blistering start with Nizakat Khan smashing 28 runs off 11 balls to take the score to 35 in the 3rd over before Damien Ravu claimed his prize wicket. Ravu then ran havoc claiming another two wickets quickly to reduce Hong Kong to 4/44 in 4.4 overs.

Hong Kong never recovered from that position to be eventually bowled out for only 92 runs in 16.5 overs. Ravu (3/16) and Chad Soper (3/20) both claimed three wickets a piece while Vala (1/6) picked up a wicket.  

Damien Ravu was awarded the Player of the Match Award for his brilliant bowling spell, taking 3/16 off just three overs.

Both teams have a day off today, before starting the three match Hebou International 50 Over Series on Tuesday, 9th October, at Amini Park.
