Star Schetter vs Grand Duchy Warriors — LCF Division II Luxembourg
Result: Star Schetter won by 40 runs
Star Schetter 143/4 (13 ov, RR 11.00) beat Grand Duchy Warriors 103/4 (13 ov, RR 7.92)
The Story in Glory :
Star Schetter set a statement total and never looked back.
The foundation was pure class from Stars JuniorJames Maclear — 45 off 31 balls (4 fours, 1 six, SR 145.16). He anchored, he rotated, he punished anything loose, falling only to a run out after doing the hard work.
At the other end, wicketkeeper Shishir Saraswat was electric — 41 off just 22 balls at 186.36 SR with 7 boundaries. That 85-run opening stand in just 8.3 overs broke the back of the Warriors attack. He was the aggressor Schetter Stars loved to watch.
Then came the finisher — Shuchith Raghu — 16 off 4 balls at 400.00 SR (2x4, 1x6). Came in, went boom, and pushed Schetter from good to match-winning 143. Vineet 17 off 10 at 170 gave him perfect support.
With the ball, Captain Muhammad Ali (C) was the lone warrior for GDW — 2-0-13-0 at 6.50, the only bowler who kept Schetter quiet while everyone else went for 12-13 an over.
In the chase, Wahab Khan fought like a true Warrior — 39 off 28 (4x4, 1x6, SR 139.29) and Azlan Faraz (WK) 26 off 19 (5x4, SR 136.84) put on 58 for the 3rd wicket and gave hope at 73/2 to 95/4.
But Star Schetter's bowling unit was ruthless and disciplined:
• Sujesh Singh — The Game Changer: 2-0-8-1, ER 4.00 — broke the top order, including Talha lbw, and choked the run rate from the start.
• Vikrant Naik (C) 2-0-21-1 and Vivek Gangwar 2-0-17-1 picked the crucial middle-order wickets of Wahab and Azlan right when Warriors were building momentum.
• Introduction to a class junior Manraj Virdee 3-0-23-0 at 7.70 held his nerve in the middle overs.
It was written dad Harpal Singh Virdee coaching all over. A proud dad.
Fall of wickets tells it all — Warriors slipped to 15-2 in 2.6 ov and never recovered despite the Wahab-Azlan fightback.
Top players of game :
1. James Maclear (45) & Shishir Saraswat (41) — match-defining opening blitz
2. Shuchith Raghu (16_ off 4) — ultimate finisher
3. Sujesh Singh (1/8) & Muhammad Ali (0/13) — most economical and impactful bowlers on the day
4. Wahab Khan (39) — lone resistance for Warriors
With this game, Stars conclude their 2026 Outdoors campaign.
