The first innings:
*Wanstead won the toss and decided to bat first
*Opening pair (Vraj & Dhyanesh) set the pace by scoring 25 N.O and 28 N.O respectively as well as both retiring not out
*Juhjar Singh scored (23 N.O) in the team with a gallant performance batting at No.9. Sterling performance
*Middle order did not contribute and we need better batting performance moving forward
* Aztecs gave away 41 runs in extras

The second innings:
*Fielding was much improved but there were obvious issues that could be seen. There still is a lack of concentration in some players, but we attacked the ball a lot more which was great to see. However 3 catching opportunities were missed, need severe catching practice.
*Juhjar took an excellent catch fielding at short mid off of Zeeruk's bowling.
*As ever good performance behind the wickets by the wicketkeeper (Aahad) constantly looking for stumping opportunities.
*Aztecs bowled out the opposition for the first time this season under 20 overs.
*Dhyanesh was our most economical bowler with fantastic line and length. In his 3 overs he only gave away 7 runs and took 2 wickets!
*Juhjar was our best bowler with 4 wickets for 14 runs in 3 overs, with Aariz, Dhyanesh and Zeeruk contributing with the other wickets
*Good captaincy by Aahad, gave a good team talk before the match and organised the fielding impeccably. As usual being vocal and making sure fielding was kept tight
