CHATSWORTH Sporting Premier Reserve Men secured their place in the T20 semi-finals with an impressive eight-wicket victory over Amanzimtoti Cricket Club (ACC), featuring a standout performance from Muhammad Asmall and a blistering cameo from Sumir Singh.
Bowling first, Chatsworth Sporting initially struggled to find early an breakthrough but Kireshen Naicker provided the much-needed spark, helping restrict ACC to 169/3.
Naicker impressed with tidy figures of 2/18.
In response, Sporting’s openers Muhammad Asmall and Akhiel Sinath set the tone with a commanding 104 run partnership.
Sinath contributed a solid 42, while Asmall top scored with a fluent 66.
The finishing touch came from Sumir Singh, who produced a sensational cameo — blasting 42 off just 12 balls — to power Sporting to victory and secure their place in the T20 semi- finals.
Speaking on the men’s performance, club president, Bronwyn Gounden said: “Our Premier Reserve side showed real character this season. Despite two close losses, the boys never dropped their heads and kept fighting every game.
“Their bonus-point win over the University of KwaZulu-Natal and victory over Amanzimtoti Cricket club was a clear reflection of their growth and determination. The team is very young - mostly made up of schoolboys - and this season has been about rebuilding, developing their confidence, and helping them find their rhythm at this level.
The progress they have made has been encouraging, and there is a lot of promise in this squad for the seasons ahead.”
