2015 Summer League
2015 saw the summer outdoor season expand to four teams, with a change in the way teams were put together. For the first time, independent clubs were established and allowed to put together their own teams. This resulted in a leage that overall was reasonably balanced with most matches competitive. The dominant team however was the Avengers who lost just once during the year. They were led by Rahul Vashishtha, who also was the league’s top batsman. Their bowling attack was well balanced, with two excellent left armers – newcomers Samaa Madawha (spin) and Deep Patel (fast-medium) combining well with established players Senthill Selvamani and Rahul Vashisht, with good support from Dhrummit Bhatt. Rahul made 459 runs at an average of 57.38, with a sensational hundred in the final. Senthill also made important runs before mssing the end of the season through injury.
The Tigers were runners up in the League and played the Avengers in the Atul Ahuya Cup final. They edged out the Superkings with a last over win in the final weekend of league play. Hummam-bin-Saif was named league MVP and really came good with the bat, opening the innings and hitting hard, far and often. His spin bowling was also effective. Saad Jahingir also made useful runs. Abrar Khan had an excellent season, his fast medium bowling always dangerous, and he made useful runs in the lower order.
The Eagles had a tough season, but saved the best for last, capturing the Herringshaw Cup with a win over the Superkings. They were well captained by Nadeem Saqlain, who also contributed with both ball and bat, but most importantly kept team spirit high in the face of defeat. The bowling was led by Osama Anwar, whose accurate spin was hard to hit, and Waqas Ali and Ali Malik provided good support. Saqib Jalees and Khurram Shezad were both consistent with the bat, but the team frequently were unable to post defendable totals.
The Superkings suffered from inconsistency- at their best they were a strong team, and handed the Avengers their only defeat of the season, but all too frequently the batting failed. The bowling featured the league’s top two wicket-takers with Purvi Kalyan taking the best bowling award with his medium pace. Rakesh Negi, Talha Riaz and Adeel Ilyaz provided a strong spin attack, and Neelav Diwan was dangerous as always. The batting relied heavily on Gurman Khurana and Rakesh Negi, with Amit Sundly providing some support but was prone to spectacular collapses. In the final weekend of play the superkings had a good chance of placing second in the league but dropped to third, and lost the Herringshaw Cup to the Eagles.

June 20;
Summer League got underway with the Avengers beating the Tigers by 111 runs, and the Superkings with a narrow win over the Eagles.
The opening day featured some great cricket, despite less than ideal field conditions. In the opener, the Superkings pulled off a narrow two wicket win over the Eagles. Purvi Kalyan took 4/23 in the Eagles innings to earn man of the match honours.
Scorecard:
The second match saw two amazing performances both in the Avengers innings. Ayaz showed the virtue of bowling straight, taking 6 wickets for 24 runs, all bowled, but this was overshadowed by man of the match Rahul Vashishtha’s brilliant century, only the third century since cricket resumed on the province five years ago. He made an unbeaten 108 from just 52 balls hitting thirteen sixes. The Superkings ran out winners by 111 runs.

July 5
Week 3 of the League saw the Avengers maintain their unbeaten record with a nine wicket win over the Eagles, and the Tigers cruising to a 10 wicket win over the Superkings. In both matches the side winning the toss batted first but failed with the bat, being bowled out inside their twenty overs.
Only one Eagle batsman (Nadeem Saqlain with an unbeaten 14) managed double figures thanks to a strong all round bowling effort led by man of the match Dhrumit Bhatt with 3 for 7. They made just 55, batting just over 10 overs. The Avengers lost an early wicket but then Senthil Selvamani (24*) and Rahul Vashishtha (29*) took them to an easy win with 11.4 overs to spare. Rahul has now made 205 runs this season being only dismissed once.
The second match followed a similar course. The Superkings got off to a promising start, with 16 on the board before the first wicket fell, but no-one could offer any support to Gurman Khurana whose excellent 57 was the only reason the Superkings posted 81. No other batsman made more than 6, and there were five ducks. Hummam Bin Saif took 4/6 with steady straight spin bowling. He then led the reply with an unbeaten half century, clearly the man of the match, and Saad gave him good support as the Eagles won by 10 wickets in 16.2 overs.

The Avengers kept their unbeaten record with a win over the Tigers, and the Superkings beat the Eagles in week 4 play.
This was true Newfoundland cricket, with the temperature barely into double digits and occasional light drizzle – but two entertaining matches were played.
The Tigers restricted the strong Avengers batting line up to 116/4 from their twenty overs, Deep Patel top-scoring with 30. well supported by Bharat Shetty (21*) in a 63 run unbroken partnership. Hummam continued his great bowling taking two wickets and conceding just 9 runs in his four overs. Hummam led the way with the bat as well, and at 81/2 with 7 overs to go the Eagles looked to be in a good position to win. The dismissal of Hummam for 54 triggered a collapse, however, and the last 8 wickets fell for just 10 runs. Drumhit Bhatt took 4/26, and Bharat 4/9, both being rewarded for bowling straight.
In the second match Gurman Khurana and Rakesh Negi (19) put on 37 for the first wicket for the Superkings, but then Gurman had little support. He made a patient 41, but the Eagles had a good day in the field, taking all their catches, and earning two run outs with direct hits. Osama Anwer took 3 for 10 with his well flighted spin. As a result they were chasing just 93 to win.
The Eagles lost early wickets, Amit Sundly making the breakthrough, but Saqib Jalees resisted well, making an excellent 34 before he was caught on the boundary by Tahla Riaz off Purvi Kalyan. Purvi took four wickets, earning man of the match honours, as the Eagles were bowled out for 63.
July 18:
Gurman Khurana led the Superkings reply with an unbeaten 54, but tight bowling and good fielding with a couple of excellent catches kept the run rate down, and led to a comfortable victory. Senthil took two wickets in the opening over, and took 2/10. He was named man of the match.
July 25:
Cricket NL members are a dedicated group, and turned out to play three matches in dismal weather on Saturday. Amazingly, despite one of the worst summers on record, no games have yet been cancelled for weather. It was definitely a bowler’s day however, and there was some low scoring. The top performances of the day were Talha Riaz’s 5 wickets for 3 runs for the Superkings, and Senthil Selvamani’s 57 for the Avengers.

August 2
The arrival of August finally brought a day ideal for playing cricket, and the Eagles took full advantage of the good weather in recording their first win of the season. They beat the Superkings by 4 wickets in a match that ended up surprisingly close, after Waqas Ali and Ali Malik’s devastating opening spell reduced the Superkings to 9 for 5 after four overs. Rakesh Negi, helped by Mark Russell (8, including Mark’s first career six, beautifully struck over square leg),and Talha Riaz (25) led a good recovery. Rakesh made 36, and the Superkings were helped by 30 wides as they posted 109. Waqas Ali took 4/18, Ali Malik 3/8, and Khalid Rashid 3/19.
The Eagles made a steady start with Saqib Jalees (13) and Irtiza Dar (16) putting on 38 for the first wicket, and Khurram Shehzad (23) took the score to 71/2. The Superkings, thanks to Purvi Kalyan (3/19) fought back with three quick wickets, but steady batting from Nadeem Saqlain and Waqas Ali took the Eagles to a well deserved win.
Scorecard
August 8: Saturday’s games saw the Avengers clinch the league title with a game to play, despite their first loss of the season in the opening match of the double header. The Superkings upset the previously unbeaten Avengers by 17 runs. The Avengers seemed well in control of the game after the Superkings slumped to 40/6. Neelav Dhawan (25*) and Dave Liverman (14) put together a partnership of 31, and allowed the Superkings to bat out their overs, but for a sub-par total of only 82. Deep Patel was the pick of the bowlers with 2/10, Samaa Madhawa also taking two wickets and Rahul Vashishtha conceding only 10 runs from his four overs.
Neelav took a wicket in his first over, and then took a brilliant diving catch at point to dismiss the league’s top scorer Rahul Vashishtha – 7/2. Fahad Ijaz (19) and Gihan Abeywickrama (14) batted patiently and seemed to be steering the Avengers to victory as they took the score to 47/2. Purvi Kalyan bowled Gihan and precipitated a collapse, with the last 8 wickets falling for only 18 runs.
Rakesh Negi took 3/7 and also contributed an outstanding run out, and Tahla Riaz and Adil Ilyasi took two wicket apiece.
Neelav Dhawan was named man of the match for his all round performance.
Scorecard
The second match saw the Avengers return to their dominant form, beating the Eagles by 135 runs. The Avengers batted first. After an early wicket Rahul Vashishtha took charge with a rapid 68 in 29 balls- with 60 of his runs coming from sixes! Gihan Abeywickrama (37) provided good support in a 118 run second wicket partnership. The Avengers posted a total of 193/8, Nouman Rashid and Nadeem Saqlain each taking three wickets. In reply, the Eagles were bowled out for 58 in 13.5 overs, Rahul taking 3/13 in a man of the match performance, and Samaa Madhawa taking two wickets. Khurram Shezad top-scored for the Eagles with 14.

The Tigers- Superkings match was decided in the last over in. The Tigers won in the last over. The Superkings made 110, thanks mainly to a good innings from Kranthi Kumar. Hummam-bin-Saif made 46 runs for the Tigers but Abrar Khan’s fine innings of 18 runs under pressure, combined with 4 wickets in the Superking’s innings earned him man of the match.

Atlantic T20
The provincial team placed third in the Atlantic T20 in Fredericton, NB, coming back well after losing their first two matches. After the first planned day of play was washed out, the revised schedule saw all matches reduced to only 10 overs. Newfoundland and Labrador were asked to bat by Nova Scotia in the first match, and had to battle near unplayable conditions on a rain soaked surface. They lost their first four wickets without scoring a run in the first three overs in conditions that were heavily biased towards the bowlers. Adeel Ilyaz battled hard for his 14, and Abrar Khan contributed 9 but 33/7 was never going to be enough, and Nova Scotia won by 8 wickets with 6 overs to spare.
Conditions improved for the game against Quebec, who made 106. Cricket Nl only lost two wickets in reply but despite a valiant effort by Gurman Khurana and Rahul Vashishta fell 18 runs short.
On Sunday they beat PEI by 68 runs, Rahul Vashishta earning man of the match for a hard hitting 42 combined with three wickets and a catch. Their final match was in effect the bronze medal game against New Brunswick. They made 80 batting first thanks to another good innings from Rahul, and then won by 26 runs, thanks to 4 wickets for 6 runs from Samaa Madhawa, named as man of the match.
Nova Scotia won the tournament, with Quebec placing second.
Rahul Vashishta was named player of the tournament, the first time one of our players has received this honour.
