Island take third

Island take third

PHUKET: Defending champions Patong capped off what has been a fairly disappointing season, losing to the Island Cricket Club (ICC) on Sunday (May 6) in a rain affected match.

The result meant ICC claimed third place honours in the Island Furniture Cricket League (IFL), while Patong had to settle for fourth.

A brutal unbeaten 100 from M Milan helped ICC on their way to 7-284 off their 40 overs. But just 17 overs into Patong’s reply, the heavens opened up.

The downpour meant the game had to be decided on relative run rate, taken at the 12 over mark. Since Island had scored 87 runs after 12 overs, and Patong had managed only 58 after 12, the match was awarded to ICC.
