The Grammar Hawks welcomed their friends from Daly College, Indore, for an exciting return cricket series after visiting India earlier this year.
The five-match T20 series kicked off on Wednesday with two close games, both won by the Hawks. Will L. impressed with the ball, while Flynn F. led the charge with the bat.
Day two saw a spirited comeback from Daly College, leveling the series at 2-2 despite strong performances by Wil D. and Cooper B.
With the decider on Friday, the Hawks won the toss and set an imposing total, thanks to a 124-run partnership between Benjo (58*) and Crawford (78). Daly College (DC) fought hard, with Yuvraj’s quick 44 bringing the game down to the wire. Needing 21 off the last over, DC’s hopes were dashed as captain Crawford took two crucial wickets, sealing victory for the home team.
Individual accolades went to Hardik and Ameya from Daly College for batting and bowling, respectively, while Hawks captain Crawford B. was named Player of the Series.
The post-series awards lunch ended with an exciting invitation from Daly College for a tri-series in 2026, involving a team from the United Kingdom.
The Hawks enjoyed hosting the Daly College team and showcasing the beauty of their region. The series further strengthens the bond between the two schools, with plenty more cricket to look forward to.
