Rudyard Hartmann 95 * (49 balls, 11 x 4 and 5 x 6) was part of two good partnerships with Silvia Pinto (12) with 69 runs and then with Anthony Joseph (17 *) with 55 runs to create the base and then win the game.
Fabio Dela Pace had a good shot average with only 16 runs in 4 overs and eliminated the two batters who started the game, E. Reinehr (4) and Narayana Ribeiro (14). The elimination of the female capita was due to Pace’s wonderful reflex catch on the pitch itself.
