Surrey, BC – June 1, 2025

“You couldn’t script this!” , what a thriller we witnessed in the 2025 BCMCL Regular Season – Third Division clash between Surrey Stars III and Ahmadiyya I at West Newton. It was a match that had it all — collapses, comebacks, cool heads under pressure, and a nail-biting finish where Ahmadiyya I scraped home by just 1 wicket with 2 balls to spare.

Live exclusively on Matchvue, this was grassroots cricket at its finest — and for those who watched it live on the Matchvue Android app, you experienced something unforgettable.

Surrey Stars Bat First – A Gritty, Grinding Effort

Put into bat, Surrey Stars III posted a modest 159 in 44.3 overs. The innings was a tale of mini partnerships and missed opportunities. Bhavik Chhatbar stood out with a composed 33 (57), anchoring the middle overs with resilience. Lower down, Sanyam Preet Singh (21) and Daksh Patel (13) provided crucial runs that pushed the total towards respectability. Extras — a whopping 35 runs — played a major role in keeping the scoreboard ticking.

For Ahmadiyya, it was a bowling masterclass. Sultan Ahmed was clinical with 3 wickets for just 12 runs in 9 overs, including five maidens. Waqar Ahmad and Tahir Malik chipped in with two wickets each, keeping the Surrey batters in check.

Ahmadiyya’s Chase – Collapse, Comeback, and Chaos

Chasing 160, Ahmadiyya I had a horror start, losing two wickets with just 11 on the board. Surrey’s bowlers, especially Bhavik Chhatbar and Faizan Mansuri, were relentless, picking up wickets at regular intervals. At 121 for 9, with the match seemingly in Surrey’s pocket, Fida Gill (25 not out) and Haroon Bajwa (11 not out) stepped up with nerves of steel.

Facing a sharp Surrey attack, the pair stitched together an unbeaten 39-run partnership, taking the game deep into the final over. It was Gill who sealed it with calm finishing, guiding Ahmadiyya I to a historic 1-wicket win with 2 balls left.
