They got off to a great start with Francoise Stoman getting a taste of his own medicine in the first over of the innings itself. 22 runs came off the opening over of the innings. It was Aitzaz Arshad who got them off to a rollicking start with a 10-ball-26.
But then, Taj Muhammad brought things back for Oeiras as he bowled quick and at the stumps. He picked two wickets. However, his contribution might just fall into oblivion. Because veteran Junaid Khan showed in the end that he could do the same thing better. Junaid picked up a hattrick with his yorkers landing right.
For Punjab CC Amadora, Simranjeet Singh was the only shining light and they have their work cut out for the next match now
