Beijing beat SCC Dragons to retain China Cup, 7 July ’15

Beijing 206/4 defeated the Shanghai Dragons 203 all out

A couple of weekends back, the SCC sent a Dragons (1st XI) touring team to Beijing to attempt to win back the China Cup (won by Beijing after a shocker from SCC last year saw them start a home game with only 10 players). Cassius and Square Root were part of the squad, but only Cassius played in the final XI.

Unfortunately, despite a solid looking 60 from “268 Not Out” and a short and sweet cameo of 6 from Cassius, the SCC were bowled out for 203 with 6 overs remaining in their innings of 50. Beijing then went on the rampage to win by 6 wickets with 21 overs remaining! Not a total loss though, because Cassius took two catches, so I’m sure we’ll hear all about those…
