Crushers Get Unusual ‘Count Back’ Win Following Exciting 10 Splash Clash With Empire Nation
By Neto Baptiste
Pigotts Crushers made it two wins in as many matches in the Antigua and Barbuda Cricket Association’s (ABCA) 10 Splash Cricket Tournament when, on Tuesday, they beat Empire Nation in unusual fashion, winning on “count back” after the teams ended the contest levelled on 89 runs each.
Crushers, winning the toss and opting to bat, raised 89 for three in their allotment of 10 overs before Empire Nation replied with 89 for four in their 10 overs.
The “count back” then allowed officials to consider the runs scored per over, starting with the 10th over. The team to have scored the most runs in the over under review would be declared winners. Upon review of the final over for both teams, it was discovered that Empire would have scored 11 runs and Pigotts 12, thus making Pigotts winners of the match.
