BATFAST cricket simulators three events in one day
BATFAST travelled across the country last Sunday to set up our world-class cricket simulators. One team travelled to Lancashire for a Vitality Blast match against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks. A separate team travelled to Derbyshire for another Vitality Blast match, against the Worcestershire Rapids. And a third team visited Essex for the Newham Fun Fair. The weather was excellent at every location making it a great day for all involved.
Lancashire Lightning Vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks
In this match, the visitors won the toss and decided to bat. However, they only managed to post a total of 122-9. Lancashire chased this total down in 16.1 overs. Steven Davies starred with the bat, scoring 64 runs from 43 balls contributing to the host's comfortable victory. Northants are now bottom of the North Group still seeking their first victory.Derbyshire Falcons Vs Worcestershire Rapids
Worcester won the toss and chose to put Derbyshire into bat. This proved to be a good move as they restricted the hosts to 135-9 through disciplined bowling. Worcester managed to chase this score with eight balls to spare, following a good contribution by overseas batsmen Martin Guptill. Guptill batted with good control scoring a run a ball 65. The county is in a commanding position with the victory over Derbyshire making it three wins from their first three games.Newham Fun Fair
BATFAST associated with Essex CCC for this event as part of their outreach program. This was a great opportunity to give kids a thrilling cricket experience in a largely southern Asian community. The Fun Fair was an exciting event to be involved in with a number of other fun activities alongside the cricket simulator, such as a circus performance. Overall the day was a great success with thousands of people having a bat on our simulators. For information regarding upcoming events follow our Twitter/Instagram/Facebook accounts @BatfastCC.
Batfast Cricket Simulators at Funholics: Emporium Mall Lahore 2018
BATFAST Cricket Simulator co-founders Runish Gudhka and Jignesh Patel recently travelled to Pakistan, for the launch of two new lanes at Funholics. The launch took place within the Emporium Mall Lahore. This mall is currently the second largest in Pakistan (170,000 m2).
Funholics seek to create memorable experiences. This makes them the perfect partner for Batfast who aim to increase participation and enjoyment in sport.
Jignesh commented on the success of the trip, “the team in Pakistan was excellent completing three installations in under a week. And the launch was breath-taking, it was great to see celebrities like Mohammad Hafeez showing huge enthusiasm.” Hafeez helped Pakistan to their first ICC Champions Trophy title last year, finishing 57 not out in the final against India.
Pakistan is a cricket-loving nation, fans can now face bowling speeds up to 100mph on our simulators. Helping them understand what it is really like for batsmen, such as Hafeez.
Since the launch last week feedback has been positive, with almost 60% occupancy of the two lanes.
