Joseph’s hattrick unable to save Hartford as UCC register comfortable win

It was a day full of action in the CCL 2021 T20 Championship, as Hartford Eagles Cricket Club (HECC) went down to United Cricket Club (UCC) despite a hattrick from Kumar Joseph.
This win has now placed the UCC in fourth place after three games, while the HECC sit in third place after four games.
Hartford, having won the toss, and electing to bat first, were bowled out for 101 in this 20-over affair. The only Hartford batsman to make a decent score was Charan Guttikonda, with 26. No other batsman was able to make it past the 20-run mark.
Hartford struggled from the get-go, and never got going, thus it affected them in the long run. Some excellent bowling from the United Cricket Club saw this latter team win their first game after registering two back-to-back losses.
Versammy Verappin bagged 3-17, while Neelam Holkar, Terry Henero and Preetam Holkar each bagged one wicket to help their side with a comfortable total to chase.
Needing 102 for victory, United were in trouble from the initial stages of the game, Joseph showing that he wasn’t going down without a fight. Bowling the third over, he rattled his opponents mentally as he registered a hattrick to have United at 18-3. He continued to torture his opponents as he returned to bag another wicket, posting figures of 4-9 from his allotted four overs.
But, while Joseph had set the tone, he received no support from his fellow team mates, as United doggedly made it across the line in 18.4 overs, ending on 104.5. Kawal Prashad and Ethan Nanku top scored with 36* and 26 runs respectively.
Thus far, from his two matches Joseph, has bagged 4 wickets, bowled a total of seven overs, and conceded only 17 runs at an economy rate of 4.15.
