Our Northern District 5th were in fine form and took care of Hawkesbury 5th thanks to Alish Hirani's 63.
We batted first and finished with 9/340 on the board from 50 overs. Alish Hirani passed fifty on the way to 63 off 69 balls with seven fours and two sixes. Alexander Perry's 54 off 86 balls was a half-century to remember. Abdullah Shaikh passed fifty on the way to 50 off 42 balls with seven fours. Nishchaijeet Mangat was the pick of Hawkesbury 5th's bowlers with three for 34.
The hosts were all out for 139 in 36 overs in reply. Our opponents' best with the bat was Ashbi Singh, who made 38. Oscar Turner was the pick of the bowlers, taking four for 26 off nine overs. Shaikh added two for 20.
The work with the ball set up the win.
Congratulations to the side on a cracking result.
