In VSDCA Seniors, our Hoppers Crossing 1st XI were too good for Preston 1st XI at Preston City Oval -Cramer Park.
Our bowlers restricted Preston 1st XI to 9/167 from 36 overs. Sammika Perera posted 71 for the hosts, a stylish fifty. Gurtej Nahal was the pick of the bowlers, taking four for 44 off seven overs. Saaransh Mahay finished with three for 29.
In reply, the side reached the target at 5/170 in 31.5 overs. Lokeshwar Suresh posted a half-century, making 59 off 83 balls with three fours. Brett Smith posted a half-century, making 57 off 63 balls with three fours and one six.
That has us fifth on the ladder. That makes it two wins in a row. Next up is Strathmore 1st XI next Saturday.
