Darwin Cricket Club will lock horns with the Waratah Cricket Club in the ninth match of the Darwin T20 League at the Gardens Oval in Benalla on Friday. The two sides were scheduled to face each other last week, but the game was abandoned due to rain.
Darwin Cricket Club and Waratah Cricket Club have been the best two teams in the Darwin T20. Both sides have won nine points apiece and occupy the top two spots in the standings. Darwin Cricket Club are currently atop the points table, owing to having a better net run rate.
Both Darwin Cricket Club's wins in the Darwin T20 came against Tracy Village CC. Their bowlers restricted Tracy Village CC to just 125 and 75 runs in the two games, with Darwin Cricket Club easily chasing down the targets. Meanwhile, their only loss came against Palmerston Cricket Club.
The Waratah Cricket Club, on the other hand, started their Darwin T20 campaign with a win over Southern Districts CC before losing to Palmerston Cricket Club in a game that went down to the final ball. However, they bounced back strongly to beat the same side comprehensively in their next outing.
Both teams will be looking to continue their good run in the Darwin T20, especially with the top spot up for grabs.
