Northwood Town Cricket Club Saturday 4th XI v Rickmansworth IV on Sat 29 Jun 2024 at 1:00 pm
Northwood Town Cricket Club Lost by 5 wickets

Match report Fresh from their first defeat of the season, Town 4's faced a crunch match against table toppers Rickmansworth 4's.

With their ever ready captain Dhaval Shah absent, VC Ganesh Jambulingham stepped up to the helm. Losing the toss Town were put into bat first. The innings started off well with Shiju (16) and Mazumdar (7) showing good application and seeing off the new ball bowlers. It was Rickmansworth's first and second change bowlers that ripped the heart out of the Town innings, taking 5 wickets between them in their 15 overs and leaving Town at 80-5 after 25 overs. The only shining light was captain Jambulingham coning to the fore with a stylish 31. The Town innings was wrapped up fairly quickly after 32 overs with 94 runs to defend.

The 25 minute interval was spent watching the T20 World Cup final to try and distract from our woes.

Rickmansworth came out positive and aggressive to make quick inroads into their target. They reached 35 when first change bowler Shiju (6-0-29-2) came on and took 2 wickets in his first over with some sharp catches taken by Muzumdar and Bhudia. Jambulingham (8-3-12-2) was frugal as always and proved very difficult to get away and also picked up two wickets with some excellent catches again by Shiju and Firfire.

Rickmansworth chased the target with wickets and over to spare in a resounding victory.

Back to back defeats for Town 4's leaves much to lament.

Man of the Match: Jambulingham for his 31 runs and 2 wickets
