Match was Tied 8pts
What a great start by the boys. SVCC won the toss and elected to field. A very spirited start by Ishaan Patel who racked up a series of over’s to the set the tone off; he ended his 3 overs with a very respectable 0-23, a good effort at the start of the game. Thomas woods our second opening bowler was the class act of the day with an impressive 2-5 off 3, which gave us the opportunity to take the game. Mayowa also bowled 3 overs with respectable figures of 0-15. Will Gerrard and Kaushal Shukla took 4 overs each and posted 0-24 and 0-22 respectively. Ben Bradley took 2 overs with 0-18 and Jack Sheldon 0-8 off 1.
The opposition got 121 runs for the chase. SVCC’s batting was second to none as they too posted an impressive score. Thomas woods with 20 and William Gerrard with 19 put pressure on the fielding side. Milind Chohan added to the total with 13 increasing our chances of winning.
Well, the best ‘til last as Mayowa’s batting, at number three saw the innings out with 41. The last ball of the game showed how close things were with 121 posted with one ball left to get one run to win. A courageous attempt was made to make a last minute dash to make up the wining run. Unfortunately Mayowa with all valiant effort was inches out of his crease for a tied game.
A truly momentous performance by all which really should have led to an SVCC victory.
Well done
