Zim Afro T10: NYS Lagos is maintaining a positive outlook despite falling short against the Harare Bolts in the Zim Afro T10 on Wednesday. After batting first, the Bolts set a lofty total of 117/7 in their ten overs. Even though Sean Williams scored a lot of runs with aggressive hitting to steady the Bolts' innings, Oshane Thomas made a big impact for NYS Lagos with crucial wickets.
Reflecting on the chase, skipper Thisara Perera expressed confidence in his team's potential, stating, "As a bowling unit, we performed well, especially considering that batting lineup could easily handle a target of 120 or 130. While we fell short today as a batting unit, I believe we can learn from this and come back stronger. I’m optimistic about our chances in the next match."
In response to the target, NYS Lagos began their innings with promise, particularly through Rassie van der Dussen’s solid contribution of 25 runs. However, the Bolts' bowlers had other plans. Richard Gleeson, Arinesto Vezha, and Brandon Mavuta bowled with great intensity, each claiming two wickets and disrupting the Lagos innings at crucial moments.
