Match Report
Crusaders recorded their first win of the season, after restricting Downe to 188 all out, when at one stage a score of 200+ looked more likely. A well constructed 65 from Wajih was the backbone to a solid response. He was well supported by Aman Singh (30) on debut and double figure contributions from Goldie, Damon, Nick, Lucky and Sonu, that ensured the target was surpassed with 9 balls to spare.
