🟢 ELITE XI | TOURNAMENT UPDATE 🟢

Not the result we were hoping for in Game 4, with the GBR Rays Elite XI going down to the Western Chargers in a tight contest.

The Rays were dismissed for 107 in 16.4 overs, before the Chargers reached 6/109 in 16 overs to claim the win.

🏏 Raveesh Srivastava — 27 from 19 balls
🎯 Steve McGiffin — 3/11 from 4 overs

Unfortunately, the result means the Rays will miss out on a place in the Grand Final.

There is still one more game to play, and the focus now shifts to finishing the tournament the right way — with pride, energy and a strong team performance.

One more opportunity to represent the Rays.
One more chance to finish on a high. 💚🖤

A much-improved performance from the GBR Rays Next XI this afternoon against the Western Chargers, with the young Rays showing plenty of fight ahead of tomorrow’s semi final. 💚🖤

The result may not have gone our way, but the signs were much better and the boys now have another opportunity tomorrow.

The Next XI head into the semi final as the underdogs — but finals cricket is a different game.
