Optimists Cricket Club

OCC 1st XI narrowly lost to AICC in a thrilling match up in Antwerp. Having scored a respectable 242, OCC then conceded 121 runs in the first 15 overs. But a fine spell of bowling from Taral Desai prompted a batting collapse and OCC had AICC on the ropes at 184 for 7. However AICC captain Lalit Nahata steadied the ship, as he so often does. Despite another two wickets falling and an edge just evading the OCC keeper, AICC crept home with one wicket to spare. For the scorecard and a full match report, click on Fixtures.
