NAGPUR’S Faiz Fazal had a nice weekend in Irish league games as he continued contributing to his team Lisburn winning cause. In the 50-over NCU Gallagher Challenge Cup, Faiz (27) had a fine 54-run opening partnership with stumper Jonathan Waite (46) as the team scored a competitive 162 all out in 48.4 overs in tough batting conditions against Cliftonville Academy.
With some tidy bowling, Lisburn were able to restrict Cliftonville to 156-9 in 50 overs winning by six runs.
A day earlier in the NCU T20 Cup Group B game at Comber, Lisburn defeated North Down by 7 wickets.
North Down scored 117-8 in 20 overs while Lisburn responded with 121-3 in 17.2 overs with James Hunter 56* and Faiz (37) being the top contributors. Hunter shared half-century partnerships with Faiz and Nigel Jones to see the visitors across the line in the eighteenth over.
