It just wasn't our day: our HCCC 6th XI were second best against Altona Sports 7th XI on Saturday.
Altona Sports 7th XI batted first and made 6/193 from 35 overs. Fifty for Sarveen Jaiswal, who made 77 for our opponents. Devyn Watts made a fine 77 not out for the visitors, a well-deserved half-century. Thomas Kelly starred with the ball, taking three for 24. Sainandan Nathi chipped in with two for 23.
Our chase ended at 6/179 from 35 overs. Sainandan Nathi's 60 was a half-century to remember. Aidan Hibbert passed fifty on the way to 55 not out with three fours. Pritesh Sheth chipped in with 32.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one.
The results haven't gone our way lately, but the side will keep at it. We'll go again.
