Kangaroos’ struggle

The T20 format wasn’t any easier for the Greenvale Kangaroos losing both their matches on Saturday in Victorian Premier Cricket.

The premier competition has turned to the T20 format for nine rounds, with every team playing six games, across three days.

The first three rounds were washed out the weekend before, with the next three rounds played on Saturday.

On Saturday, the Kangaroos had the bye in the first round before facing Fitzroy Doncaster in their first match.

The Lions made 6-192 from their 20 overs with Melbourne Renegades star Joshua Brown top scoring with 83 off 36 balls.

Justin Galeotti took two wickets for the Kangaroos.

The Kangaroos fell well short, finishing 6-122.

Galeotti continued this good form top scoring with 31 at just under a run a ball.

The Kangaroos then faced Ringwood in their second match of the day.

After being sent in, the Kangaroos made 7-125.

Will Luxton, who got the Kangaroos off to a fast start, top scored with 37 after coming in at 1-5.

The Rams openers got off to a flier and got the side within sight of victory.

Despite two late wickets, the Rams got the job done with ease, finishing 2-126.

Ivan Zmak got both wickets for the Kangaroos.

After nine rounds, the Kangaroos sit 16th on the table with one win.

The Kangaroos face Melbourne and Casey South Melbourne this Saturday in the last of the T20 matches.
