Molls snatch victory in final over from Paki Lions

A nail biter every bit as good as the T20 finals being played in India

Molls narrowly beat Paki Lions in a T20 cricket final that went down to the last over at the Oval on Friday evening.  Molls batted first and posted a modest 79 all out.

The Paki Lions new-look attack bowler, Waqas,  caused havoc and three batsmen were back in the change room in the first 15 minutes of play but Molls struck back with Stephen scoring 21 and Wilfred 16.

Waqas finished with figures of 3/11 and partner, Sadaf, 2/6.  The final went down to the last over with Paki Lions need six runs from the last two overs.

Two runs were scored off that 19th over and with only four runs needed off the last six balls, Molls held their heads to register a memorable victory. Farouk (31) and Sadaf (17) top scored for the Lions while Chris Engelbrecht pitched in with impressive bowling figures of 4/11.
