Hornschurch CC batting first at Hylands Park in London made a total of 193/10 in 40 overs courtesy a tight bowling display by Rose and Crown CC bowlers who did not allow opposition to let loose. Upendar Reddy – one of the prime all-rounders of the team was the strike bowler returning with an envious bowling spell of 7/22 in 8 overs which included 3 maidens. Upendar who has already showed his mettle with the bat in UK has proved how equally valuable he can be with the ball as he rattled through the opposition’s batting line up.
Chasing 194, Rose and Crown CC took mere 20 overs to complete the chase winning the match by 6 wkts. Opener Sai gave a good start with 48 off 30 balls (9 boundaries) while Nathan at no.3 top scored with an entertaining 69 off mere 30 balls smashing 4 sixes in it. Upendar played the finishers role at no.4 remaining unbeaten on 30* off 18 balls smashing 6 boundaries in it.
Result: Rose and Crown CC won by 6 wkts.
