The Sunday Elite League Division 1 encounter between HKCC Wanderers and DLSWCC Tony Turners at HKCC on January 11, 2026, delivered a gripping contest that went down to the wire, with the Turners clinching victory by two wickets. After winning the toss and electing to bat, the Wanderers posted 217 for 9 in their allotted 50 overs. The innings was built around patient contributions from Jack Masters, who compiled 48 from 85 balls, and skipper Matt Rosslee, who struck 43 off 48. Later, Sheehan Wijentunge added impetus with a brisk 37, while Aryan Chandermani chipped in with 24. Despite these efforts, the Wanderers were kept in check by disciplined bowling, most notably from Ehsan Khan who claimed 3 for 31, and Muhammad Moner Ahmed who delivered a miserly spell of 2 for 24.

Chasing 218, the Tony Turners were led by a fluent 59 from opener Aarez Dar, whose ten boundaries set the tone. Haider Ali’s aggressive 47 off 39 balls, including three sixes, and Ehsan Khan’s composed 46 anchored the middle order. Though wickets fell in clusters—five batsmen dismissed between 184 and 210—the Turners held their nerve. Keshav Mathur’s outstanding spell of 5 for 46 gave the Wanderers hope, but Muhammad Moner Ahmed and Khan Sheryar guided the visitors home in the 41st over, finishing at 220 for 8.

The chase, which initially appeared straightforward, was made tense by reckless batting in the middle order. Youthful exuberance from debutant Uzair Iqbal and teenager Shrey Chanchad, coupled with some poor shot selections from the later order, allowed the Wanderers a glimmer of hope. Yet the foundation laid by Aarez Dar’s composed 59 before his unfortunate run out ensured the Turners remained in control. Haider Ali’s aggressive stroke play and Ehsan Khan’s steady presence ultimately restored composure, guiding Tony Turners home and sealing a hard-fought but deserved two-wicket victory
