ROGERS PARK CC SPINS TO CU
By Venkatesh Chandrashaker

James Park at Evenston was an unknown wicket to Chicago United (CU) generating excitement and curiosity in the CU camp. Late arrival of Rogers Park CC flipped the toss for CU. CU elected to field.
RPCC openers where in trouble earlier on as Shiraz was dropped in the 1st over. However, Waseem and Shiraz built a 50+ runs partnership in 14 overs. CU spinners – Niraj, Andre and Sami, dominated the bowling over batting and limited RPCC to 161/9 in 40.
CU opened with Yaseen and Ibrahim losing wicket of Ibrahim in the very 1st over . Niraj and Sami were out back to back in two balls staging CU at 70/4 . Abhijit and Yaseen stabilized the innings adding a partnership of 70 runs. Yaseen and Askari wrapped up the win in the 25th over with 5 wickets to spare.
Lots of Evenston locals including Jamaicans were hanging out and enjoyed a good game of cricket .
