FLAMINGOS’ superior net run-rate has confirmed them a spot in Saturday’s Namalco Under-23 Cup final against Hummingbirds.
Despite losing their last preliminary round match against confirmed finalists Hummingbirds on Wednesday, Flamingos finished tied with Masqueraders on four points, while Scarlet Ibis were eliminated.
Flamingos and Masqueraders shared an identical match record – one win, one loss and one no-result.
However, match officials calculated each team’s net run-rate and Flamingos (0.059) deservedly got the nod ahead of Masqueraders (-0.991) even though the latter defeated Scarlet Ibis by four wickets on Wednesday in their final round match.
Flamingos now meet Hummingbirds in Saturday’s final and will have a chance to improve on their performance from the last game, with the title up for grabs.
