International Cricket Captain: Cricsim vs the World

10 overs: CricSim 60/0

The Pakistan innings had been a fine example of cautious opening, steady partnership building, and then seizing the advantage at the end. Mahmathlai opted to not do that, and blast 14 off Mohammed Aamer's first over. Later, he played out a maiden. A strong sign of intent from the CricSim openers.

 

20 overs: Cricsim 110/0

The openers were having a great time chasing down what was looking increasingly like a mediocre total. Both Mahmathlai and James compiled powerful half centuries, the latter clonking a huge straight six off Nawaz to bring up the first hundred partnership of their careers.

30 overs: CricSim 162/1

Mahmathlai pushed ahead of his openning partner in the middle overs, progressing swiftly into the 80s, but with a hundred beckoning, was the first man out, bowled by Shoaib Malik. Tom Delonge got off the mark with a three as CricSim looked to make their strong position count.

 

40 overs: CricSim 231/2

Tom Delonge hit his first ball for three to keep the strike, hit the next two deliveries for four, and then played around a straight one to be out for 11 (4). Despite that momentary distraction, Matt James was still there, upping his scoring against the returning seamers and a flurry of boundaries off Ashraf got him to another composed hundred.

 

47.2 overs: CricSim 292/2

While ably supported by Oscar Wood, the star of the show was unquestionably James, whose unbeaten innings became his new highest score. The opener fittingly hit the winning runs.

CricSim won by 8 wickets.
