After a tough league season that saw Northwood Town CC 4th XI exit the competition due to multiple conceded games, the team regrouped for their first friendly fixture — a morale-boosting encounter against Bushey CC 3rd XI.

Toss and First Innings: Bushey Batting
Northwood won the toss and elected to field, looking to make an early impact. The opening bowling duo of Panash Vyas and Nishant Maniya delivered a disciplined spell, applying pressure and picking up early wickets. Nishant struck twice, setting the tone for the innings.

First-change bowler Vishal Sadhwani continued the momentum, claiming 3 wickets with sharp line and length. But the standout performance came from the youngest player of the season, Tanush Shah, who bowled with remarkable control and maturity. His spell of 4 overs, 2 maidens, 8 runs, 3 wickets was a highlight of the innings.

Bushey struggled to build partnerships and were bowled out for 102 runs in just 26 overs.

Second Innings: Northwood Town Batting
Chasing a modest target, Northwood began cautiously but suffered an early setback with the loss of an opener. Tanush Shah, continuing his all-round performance, anchored one end with a composed knock of 13 runs.

Despite his efforts, wickets fell at regular intervals. Contributions from Nishant Maniya (13) and Panash Vyas (13) kept the chase alive, but the innings lacked a stabilizing partnership.

With just a few runs needed and one wicket in hand, Vishal Sadhwani and Abs tried to steer Northwood home. Unfortunately, a run-out ended Vishal’s innings and the team fell agonizingly short — losing by just 6 runs.
