🏏 Match Review | Black Hawkes vs Pine Rivers CC 🖤💛

After winning the toss, the Black Hawkes elected to bat first, but it proved to be a challenging innings as we were bowled out for 146. Despite never really getting going as a batting unit, there was a major milestone to celebrate, with Hasitha scoring his maiden half-century for the club. A well-deserved achievement and hopefully the first of many! 👏🏻

Pine Rivers made the most of the conditions and chased down the target with relative ease, finishing the job with four wickets down.
Once again, Hasitha was the standout performer for the Black Hawkes, backing up his efforts with the bat by claiming 3 of the 4 wickets to fall in a terrific all-round performance.🫡

It was a tough day at the office for the Black Hawkes as we suffered back-to-back losses. While the results haven't gone our way, we'll take the lessons from this game, regroup, refocus, and come back stronger in our next match.🙏

💛🖤 Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Black Hawkes. We'll be working hard to bounce back next week.

There’s no doubt this is a game the team will learn from. The focus now shifts to taking the lessons from this performance, continuing to improve, and growing stronger heading into the next one. 🫡

🏏 Match Review | Black Hawks vs BCC 🖤💛

Club Records ‼️

What a remarkable day for the Black Hawks, led by an unforgettable performance from Thihan, who etched his name into the club's history books with a sensational spell of 8 wickets for just 19 runs in 8.3 overs. 😮‍💨👏🏻👏🏻

A performance beyond words, it set a new club record for the best bowling figures and laid the foundation for another club record — the lowest total ever by an opposition team, just 48 runs. 🔥

Earlier in the day, the Black Hawks batted first and posted a competitive 193/6. Chamikara provided a steady start with a well-crafted 45, while Captain Madushanka led from the front with 42. The innings was given a powerful finish by Sachintha, whose quick-fire 38 helped push the total to an imposing score. 🫡

With 194 required for victory, BCC had no answers to the relentless Black Hawks bowling attack. Thihan's extraordinary spell tore through the batting lineup, with excellent support from the rest of the team, as BCC were dismissed for just 48 runs.🖤💛

This was truly an unbelievable performance by the Hawks and a reflection of the unity, commitment, and determination that define this team. Records were broken, history was made, and the Black Hawks once again showed what can be achieved when everyone pulls together. 🔥🦅

🏏 Match Review | Black Hawks vs WPC 🖤💛

Another strong performance from the Black Hawks as we continue our push towards another championship! 💯

Having been asked to bowl first, the Hawks produced a clinical display with the ball, ripping through the WPC batting lineup and dismissing them for just 86 runs. 🖤

The star of the show was Hasitha, who led the attack brilliantly with 4 wickets for 18 runs, earning the pick of the bowlers. He was well supported by Thihan with 2 wickets, while Lakith and Chanaka chipped in with a wicket apiece. 🔥

Chasing 87 proved to be no straightforward task on a tricky wicket, but the Hawks showed patience and composure. Chamikara laid the foundation with a solid 30 runs at the top of the order, before the experienced pair of Lahiru and Najitha guided the team home, sealing victory in the 16th over.🫡

Another win on the board for the Black Hawks as we continue building momentum and set our sights on becoming champions once again. 💪🦅

🦅 🖤💛 MATCH RESULT – BLACK HAWKS vs WARLOCKS CC 🔥

OFF WITH A BANG 💥

Black Hawks opened the season in dominant fashion with an absolute demolition of the Warlocks — the very side we were set to meet in last season’s grand final before rain got in the way. 👊

Batting first, the Hawks posted a strong 197, led by New skipper and the ever reliable, Madushanka with a brilliant 101 off 111 balls which included 8 Boundaries and 3 Sixes. Niranga provided the perfect start while finding some form with 40 at the top of the order, while Chamikara chipped in with an important 19 through the middle order to hold the innings together. 🫡

The bowlers then took over completely. The Warlocks were ripped apart for just 55 in a ruthless team performance. Debutant Thihan made an immediate impact with outstanding figures of 3/13, while spinner Malik also grabbed 3 wickets. Naresh and Lakith picked up 2 wickets each to close out the innings in quick time😮‍💨

The total of 55 is now officially the lowest score ever recorded by an opposition side against the Black Hawks — a new club record. 🔥

Congratulations to new skipper Madushanka and debutant Thihan for an incredible start to this campaign!!

A perfect start to the season as the Hawks look to carry this momentum forward and go one step better after finishing runners-up in each of the last three seasons 🏏 🏆

A special thank you goes to our captain Chanaka Liyanage for his leadership throughout the last couple of seasons. His dedication on and off the field has played a major role in guiding the Hawks to consecutive finals appearances👏🏻👏🏻
