Stanmore CC hosted the last CCC game of the 2025 season.
CCC batted first in a 40 overs match with two good teams selected to play on what has been a high scoring batting surface this season at Stanmore CC.
CCC Captain Raheem Abbas Sher 29 and Tiam Afshar 24 got the team off to a solid start before the captain ran himself out. No3 Muhammad Hassan Hameed again batted sensibly as he has done all season for the CCC and was finally out in the penultimate over for 85 to a very good catch by the Sharks CA Captain Shahzad Hafeez.
Lakshay Sharma (Teddington CC) 32 and a controlled 36no from Ashish Padki (St Albans CC) enabled the CCC to Total 230-5. Par score.
Sharks CA bowlers A Khan, A Farooq, M Abdullah and S Hafeez took a wicket each.
After tea the Sharks CA opener Hamza Ahmed 60 and No3 Ubaid Kiani 36 played some expansive aggressive shots before both getting out. No. 4, Baber Choudhary 67 played what looked like to be a winning innings. However the CCC spinners kept taking wickets and bowling with some control. Bowlers supported by good catches in the outfield.
Yash Lakhani 3-30 off 8 overs, Arjan Nahar 5-24 off 5 overs, Muhammad Hassan Hameed 1-37 off 8 overs, Ashish Padki 0-39 off 8 overs and young Loughton CC off spinner Uzair Butt 5 overs 0-25.
Sharks CA were all out to the last ball of the innings 221 all out.
Good game and a good win for the CCC.
