Debut win was in Saif hands

Debut win was in Saif hands

The debut game of our Eighths this season was delicately poised at the half way mark on November 22, with our team on 1/79 at the 20 over mark.
The loss of a wicket soon after drinks brought Saif Shafqat to the crease, and the trend of the game changed in a twinkle.
Saif brought up his century in not too many balls of power hitting, and became just the seventh player in our 50-year history to score a century on debut.

The Eighths is our partnership between the Moonee Valley Cricket Club and Victorian Institute of Technology. The players - most of them international students - proudly wear the Moonee Valley emblem alongside their VIT logo on their shirts.
Saif had to retire on 100 not out, in accordance with the rules of the NWMCA one-day grade, but set up a platform for the following batsmen to hit out and take the score to 4/241.
Our opponents RMIT also had a bit of a dip after the drinks break but were all out for 181.
Club President Charlie Walker attended the match, and welcomed the partnership with VIT with a view it would be a long one. VIT - welcome on board.
