Sunshine through to next round

Sunshine is through to the next round of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 competition.

Having won their first match, the Crows sealed their spot at the top of the Morris group with a win against St Albans.

The Crows won the toss with Kaushal Lokuarachchi continuing his good form with 70 to help his side to 8-154.

Danny Greer and Lihan Dulshan took two wickets each for the Saints.

The Saints never got close, making 7-123 from their overs.

Altamash Zaheer took four wickets for Sunshine.

The win means Sunshine has won both their pool games and will finish on top of the pool. St Albans will face St Andrews in the third match of the pool, but neither can finish top.

Keilor kicked off its T20 competition campaign with a big win against Tullamarine on Tuesday night.

After being sent in, the Blues lost an early wicket which brought Lucas Elliott to the crease in the Simpson group.

The Blues set about getting the innings going and eventually finished 4-171.

Elliott top scored with 73 off 51 balls.

It was all single wicket takers for the Demons.

The Demons were in trouble at 4-17 and never recovered, restricted to 8-88 from their 20 overs.

Captain David Scott played a lone hand, finishing 35 not out.

Matthew Gaskett and Jarryd Clements took two wickets each for the Blues.

Sunshine United and the Druids were also in action on Wednesday night.

The Tigers, who lost their first match, saw their T20 campaign come to an end.

Fielding and inexperienced team, Tigers made 6-118 from their overs with David Worthington top scoring with 29.

The Druids made the runs with ease, finishing 3-120. It was all single wicket takers for the Tigers.

Among other matches last week, East Coburg easily accounted for Glenroy, Point Cook smashed Wyndamvale and Sanctuary Lakes accounted for the Williamstown Imperials.
