GEORGE TOWN: Spunky Alisha Iman Cheong took the biggest scalp of her career but then came up short when it mattered most in the 4th Penang Durian Masters Championship at the Penang Bowl yesterday.

“I was already on cloud nine after finishing third to qualify for the step-ladder finals. I didn’t feel any pressure and bowled well against Shalin because I went into it thinking there was no way I was going to beat her,” said Alisha.
