Asia oust Africa in Twenty20
Thursday, 7 June 2007
It was bound to happen. An inexperienced bunch of Africans could only muster a below-par 109 for 8 and the Asians reached the target with four overs to spare.
The Asian bowling was disciplined and the fielding, despite a lack of pre-match practice, sharp as they tightened the tourniquet after sending the novices to bat.
Unsurprisingly, Loots Bosman, who has played for South Africa, was the only batsman to face more than 15 deliveries and he was left to watch helplessly as the Asians pooped the party even before it began.
