Dreux beat President XI by 5 wickets!
Ahmad Nabi 44 (18) | Mohammad Shahzeb 2-11 Lingeswaran Cannessane 31 (18) | Wahid Abdul 2-14
This turned out to be quite a comfortable chase for Dreux even though the bowlers of President XI tried their best to make sure that their opponents did not get everything on a platter.
This win was set up for Dreux by their bowlers earlier in the day, and they will be the ones immensely pleased with the happenings in this innings as well.
Dreux appear to be the team to beat in this competition this season, and it will take a lot from the other sides to come up to level terms with them. It is not going to be an easy task by any means, and it remains to be seen which of the other sides can compete with them in this tournament.
In this game, President XI were second best by some distance, and this will worry them. They play Paris Universite Club next, and will be keen on getting a positive result by the end of the evening.
