Le massacre au Stade de la Lumière

The red24 win streak was brought to a grinding halt last night at the Stadium of Light. Facing a well-drilled Lovers Plus team, red24 had no answers for their well placed yorkers and beautifully executed slog shots. red24 sufferred from a lack of experience in all departments and should count themselves lucky that the final scoreline didn't balloon further. On a positive note all members of the team are still alive, although Jon Tonker Vincent remains MIA. red24 will need to improve considerably ahead of their next fixture which may be a repeat against the same team. Talking to Petronius Maximus after the game, she put the loss in context "Andre!! Why didn't you stop the seven!" Well put :)

Scorecard: red24 78 (96 balls) vs. Lovers Plus 158 (96 balls)
