the Fourth League of the Easterns Cricket League.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>The match, against the Reiger Park Cricket Club, was played at the team\u2019s home grounds, the Germiston City Sports Grounds.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors won the toss and elected to field first, during which time the home side knocked up a decent 202 runs from their 35 overs.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>Jan van Wyk, Kevin Cox and Jan Aucamp were the day\u2019s top scorers, scoring 60, 44 and 32 runs respectively.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Germiston Cricket 1\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"

(stipulated by the Easterns Cricket Board) was used to calculate the runs to chase and in how many overs,\u201d explained David Ungerer, on behalf of Germiston.<\/p>\n<p>By the calculations, Reiger Park only had to beat a total of 168 runs in 29 overs to win.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors were able to reach the score, with nine wickets down and only three balls to spare.<\/p>\n<p><iframe

Donald Cekiso were complemented on their bowling performance, but sadly it was not enough to win the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately Germiston fell victim to the dreaded mathematical equation system for score and run adjustment, as we believe they would not have made the remaining 30-odd runs with nine wickets down in six overs if the game was not rain affected,\u201d said Ungerer.<\/p>\n<p>This coming Saturday the team will travel to the Tsakane Cricket Club\u2019s home grounds at Hoskins Park for their Fourth League clash.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery
