Match Report: Interlink CC 1st XI vs Leeds Super Kings CC 1st XI

Interlink CC 1st XI won the toss and elected to bat first on a fresh surface on a hot sunny day. Their innings got off to a disastrous start as Leeds Super Kings struck regularly with the new ball, reducing Interlink to 36/6 and putting them firmly on the back foot.

With the innings in danger of collapsing, Raza Ali and M Imran produced a match-defining partnership, showing composure and determination under pressure. The pair rebuilt the innings superbly, rotating the strike and capitalising on scoring opportunities to drag Interlink back into the contest. Their stand completely shifted the momentum and laid the platform for a competitive total.

M Imran went on to top-score with a brilliant 60 from 87 balls, including nine fours and a six, while Raza Ali contributed an invaluable 43 from 61 deliveries, striking five fours and a six. Useful late-order contributions from N Chunara (16), A Ditta (15*) and T Data (16*) helped Interlink reach 181 all out in 45 overs.

Leeds Super Kings battled hard with the ball, with V Deena Kumar claiming 3 wickets and R Attuluru taking 2 wickets, while the rest of the attack chipped in with key breakthroughs.

Chasing 182 for victory, Leeds Super Kings never quite recovered from losing early wickets. M Veerasamy top-scored with 18, J Manimuthu made 15 and M Kumar added 16, but wickets continued to fall at regular intervals.

Interlink’s bowlers shared the workload effectively. M Pandor was the pick of the attack with 4 for 37, while M Imran claimed 2 wickets. R Ali and Y Bismillah also picked up two wickets each as Leeds Super Kings were dismissed for 98 in 27.4 overs.

*Interlink CC Fall to defeat in a gripping quarter final cup clash*

Interlink CC 1st XI were involved in a gripping Paper Pool Mills Cup encounter that ultimately slipped away in the final overs, as Leeds Caribbean CC 1st XI completed a determined chase to win by three wickets. After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Interlink built their innings around a superb performance from I Jamadar, whose composed 74 anchored the side from the top. He showed patience and control throughout, holding the innings together while partners came and went. Useful contributions from M Memi, A Sheikh, and M Pandor helped Interlink reach 184 all out, a total boosted by 27 extras but one that still felt competitive on a surface offering something for both batters and bowlers.
Defending the total, Interlink began strongly with the ball. A Sheikh delivered an excellent spell, taking three wickets and applying constant pressure. A Ditta and M Memi chipped in with two wickets each, helping reduce Leeds Caribbean to 123‑7 and putting Interlink firmly in control. At that stage, the momentum was entirely with the fielding side, who were energetic, disciplined, and sensing a decisive breakthrough.
However, Leeds Caribbean’s lower order showed impressive composure under pressure. M Idris and A Khan combined for a calm, measured partnership that slowly wrestled the game away from Interlink. Their shot selection was controlled, their running sharp, and their temperament steady as they guided their team to 185 with an over to spare. It was a frustrating finish for Interlink, who had created opportunities throughout but were unable to find the final wicket when it mattered most.
Despite the narrow defeat, there were plenty of positives for Interlink to take forward. Jamadar’s innings was a standout effort worthy of Player of the Match, the bowling unit showed discipline and threat. With small improvements in closing out tight situations and building on promising partnerships, Interlink look well‑placed to bounce back strongly in upcoming fixtures.
