Mixed luck for West Buckland
There was mixed luck for the UK-based West Buckland School in their two matches against Jain International Residential School teams at the JIRS grounds on Tuesday and Wednesday.
An unbeaten 93 by Jas Kalsi failed to prevent the West Buckland boys from going down by three wickets in the first game, when JIRS’ under-17 team replied to the visitors’ 197 for eight from 45 overs with 200 for seven in 37 overs.
In the second game on Wednesday against the JIRS U-16 team, West Buckland saw the home side post 214 for nine in 45 overs.
Due to a rain interruption, though, the England side was set a revised target of 143 to win in 30 overs, and they pulled off a convincing six-wicket win, reaching 144 for four with 12 deliveries to spare.
Brief scores: West Buckland School: 197/8 in 45 overs (Matthew Down 54, Jas Kalsi 93 n.o.; Kunal 2-37) lt to JIRS U-17: 200/7 in 37 overs (Pratveer 76 n.o., Mahek 39).
