Storm out, waiting game for PEGS, Crows, Lions

Sydenham-Hillside’s Victorian Turf Cricket Association T20 campaign is over, while PEGS, Sunshine and Deer Park had their matches postponed.

The region round of the competition started on Tuesday night, with the final 16 teams split into groups of four.

The Sydenham-Hillside made it through the pool knockout stage, where it was drawn to face senior division side, the Druids in one of the first matches scheduled for this round.

The Storm won the toss and elected to bat on their home pitch. They were out for 128 on the final ball of the innings.

Stefon King top scored for the Storm with 36, in an innings which included three fours and one six.

Asela Rangana Dasanayaka Aluthge was the pick of the bowlers for the Druids, taking two wickets.

After losing an early wicket, the Druids steadied and were able to chase down the runs with more than four overs remaining.

Dasanayaka Aluthge top scored with 43 off 25 balls. He hit four fours and two sixes.

Muhammad Sajawal took 2-17 off his three overs for the Storm.

The Druids’ opponent in the next round is yet to be decided.

Deer Park was set to host Sunshine in the other game of the pool on Thursday night.

Wet weather prevented the game going ahead, with it to be rescheduled.

PEGS fate in the competition is also undecided.

West Coburg and PEGS were set to face each other on Tuesday night, but the game was cancelled due to the ground being wet.

The winner of that match will play Jacana, which accounted for Sunbury.

Werribee Centrals advanced with a win against Gellibrand and will now face Maribyrnong Park St Marys which beat Sanctuary Lakes.

The remaining games are scheduled to be played within the next week.

The next round of the competition is scheduled for February 14.
