Hadleywood Green are pleased to get our first win of the season against Camel CC. We lost the toss and were sent in to bat first. After a slightly shaky start, we were 3 down for only 60 runs, batsmen 3 and 5 anchored us with a partnership of over 100. Number 5 Salik walloped 95 off just 43 before getting bowled just shy of 100. Number 3 Sha stayed in until the very end, getting caught and bowled on the final ball for 119. There were some helpful contributions from Abdul at 4, Ranjit at 6 and Arun at 7. Total of 339 for 7.
Camels lost 1 in the first over, the bowler Milon beat the batsmen repeatedly. They were in a similar position to us, 3 down with less than 50, but captain Kit and batsmen 2 secured an impressive partnership of over 100 and they were hitting 4s and 6s all over the place. Both got half centuries and they got to 150 at 20 overs still only 3 down. We get our breakthrough when Kit was caught for 66. After that the wickets started falling, and eventually batsmen 2 was caught for 51. Camels all out for 162. Great match!
