Captain Ali Asgar won the toss again to make it his 5th out of 6 matches and as the trend continues he chose to bat.
It was a disastrous start for the lankan lions as the leading run scorer for SL, H Mansoor was given a highly dubious decision for LBW on the very first ball as replays later clearly showed a big inside edge. 3 deliveries later, captain Ali Asgar who opened for the first time in place of regular opener Hussain Mustan, was caught at deep square leg after attempting an outrageous sweep shot which was highly unneccessary at the given time.
The collapse continued as S Hazari ran down the pitch to clobber the leg spinner in the beginning of the 2nd over and all he managed to do was cut unwanted grass of the pitch and was stumped by a mile. An over later Juzar N too followed suite and was bowled by nothing other than a straight delivery which knocked his middle stump out of the ground.
Then the Sri Lankans made a fight back with Hatim Akberali who scored 11 inspite of a knee injury and the juniors in the team Abdul Qadir Mustafa and Hatim Mohamed enabling the lankans to gain some respectabiltiy as they scrounged 44 off the allotted 6 overs.
It was an intense session as the jamea guys found no easy pickings from the SL bowlers but the score was just too little to defend on the day, and a little bit of sensibility was required to knock off the total which was achieved in the 6th over with 2 deliveries remaining.
It was a disaapointing match for the lankans as no one really expected the Jamea boys to pull off such a fantastic victory. The Lankan lions have promised they will come back and come back hard at that!
Next match vs Surat.
