Dundalk Thirds chalk up convincing win in Carlow with seven wickets to spare

Losing the toss and fielding first in St Patrick's College, Dundalk claimed an early wicket through youth seamer Siraj Sherzad. A 58-run partnership followed before Raheel Qamar and off-spinner Kapil Paija Pun combined for a flurry of middle order wickets to leave the hosts at 91-7 at drinks. Qamar recorded his best economy in an innings for Dundalk at just 2.5 runs an over. However, Ishaan Mohan helped Carlow to a late comeback from number nine, scoring 40 not out to deny Dundalk the three wickets they sought and setting the visitors a worryingly high target of 174. Pauric McCrum and Mohammed Bukhari partnered for 57 runs in the chase before Muhammad Umar hit an impressive 32 off 28 balls to bring the target within reach. Captain Sumit Kumar and Sourav Kunal saw the innings out, hitting a unbeaten 55 runs for the fourth wicket to clinch a third Division 20 win of the season with 31 balls to spare. Elsewhere, Dundalk Firsts and Seconds were bowled out in second innings chases against Finglas and Lucan respectively.
