Could Northern bounce back against long time rivals Maccabi
On the back of 2 defeats a game against Maccabi was just what Northern needed to regain some confidence but Russ kept the 100% record of coin toss failure going and Maccabi started well. A decent opening partnership was only broken when Kunal bowling his first spell for Northern took a wicket care of a catch from debutant Mohsin. Mohsin then got a generous LBW decision before Manley took an unorthodox catch behind with the ball with his legs. A tidy run out between Russ and Ashish kept the pressure on and the opening bat fell to another Manley catch in the last over leaving the score on 100.
Kunal and Russ started well and although both fell for 19 it was Ashish (27) and Mohsin (33) who after a tricky start to their partnership were soon finding the boundary at will as 103 was scored with 2 overs to spare. Mohsin picked up man of the match honours on debut.
