Highveld Lions vs Perth Scorchers, M4 - Report: CLT20-2013

HIGHVELD-LIONS-VS-PERTH-SCORCHERS-M4-CLT20-2013

Match 4 of the Karbonn Smart CLT20 2013 turned out to be a damp squib after heavy showers forced the game to be abandoned without a ball being bowled. The two teams - Highveld Lions and Perth Scorchers – for who this match was their first outing in the competition, had to be content with two points each.

Earlier in the evening, the match looked all set for an on-time start. The Highveld Lions skipper Alviro Petersen won the toss and put the Scorchers in to bat. However, within minutes of the toss, the skies opened up and there was a deluge. The rain did not relent for more than an hour, and small puddles across the field slowly turned to huge ponds of water.

With the rain not relenting, the Match Officials had no option but to abandon the match.

The Scorchers handed T20 caps to Ashton Agar, Joel Paris and Ashton Turner, before the rains set in and forced the match to be abandoned.

Highveld Lions XI: Alviro Petersen (captain), Quinton de Kock (wicket-keeper), Rassie van der Dussen, Hardus Viljoen, Temba Bavuma, Jean Symes, Dwaine Pretorious, Sohail Tanvir, Aaron Phangiso, Imran Tahir, Lonwabo Tsotsobe.

Perth Scorchers XI: Simon Katich (captain), Laim Davis, Ashton Agar, Adam Voges, Ashton Turner, Hilton Cartwright, Tom Triffitt (wicket-keeper), Joel Parris, Jason Behrendorff, Brad Hogg, Michael Beer.
