I feel like we let them get too many. Their number 7, Sithole, got 46 and I feel like he's done something similar to us before.

We're almost in control of the run rate but we're never going to last long enough to get these runs anyway.

pretty poor performance to be honest, just no-one kicked on to a sizeable score with the bat, and we were super sloppy in the field. Result: lost by 5 wickets:

Not a lot in it. Pretty brave of Paton to hit a 6 for the winning runs when only 2 was needed.

This time last season we were beating Relegation reprobates by 2 runs so it seems like we enjoy a tight game to start the season.

It was a great bowling performance by us. 3-13 for Bruce was the best figures and all but 1 of the bowlers picked up wickets. No-one went for more than 6 an over.

It turned out to be a comfortable chase. Dotson hit 36 off 19 balls and we had more than 10 overs left when House hit the winning runs. Surprisingly, the overall ratings weren't massively different.

Our poor spinners certainly gave our opponents a chance, but we managed to just get over the line. Much needed win against one of our no doubt relegation rivals.
