- 1. Merciless Crusaders thump clueless Málaga CC Crusaders all round display downs Málaga CC on an eventful day at Cártama oval CRUSADERS were without their regular captain Jesper Hansen who injured his shoulder and is ruled out for two weeks. In the ab- sence of their regular captain, Nasir Dar led Crusaders to a com- fortable victory against Málaga CC by 7 wickets. Amjid Ai, Julian Freystone and Nushan Alwis blitzed a half century each, and scripted their biggest win by 7 wickets. Cru- sader’s mockery of a 223 run tar- get followed Málaga’s own record- setting after they chose to bat first. Crusaders top order treated the chase like batting practice and de- nied their team-mates the chance to experience the same. Málaga bowlers also seemed to have bought into that mindset, with neither swing nor spin on offer and simply fed deliveries to the opening pair to hit. Number three batsman Nushan Alwis got his 7th consecutive 50. On a fantastic track where anything under 250 was con- sidered sub-par, Málaga were at least 30 runs short.Waqas Ahmed did his bit, but found scant assist- ance. Those efforts barely chal- lenged the hosts, after Málaga were reduced to 222-8 off 35 overs. Nadeem was the only other player to score more than 40 against a weakened Crusaders attack. As the most experienced quick, Kai Manson took on the task of lead- ing the attack. He produced an ag- gressive three over new-ball spell, in which he took 1 for 11 and then returned to take 2 for 31 in four overs at the end and was well sup- ported by Nushan Alwis 2-17 and Nasir Dar 2-44. Málaga’s batting efforts barely challenged the hosts, after they were reduced to 222-8 off 35 overs. Crusaders will face a Scottish team on Saturday for a 35 overs game and a T20 tournament against a visiting Indian team and Scottish team on Sunday .
