A fantastic performance from our 2nd XI this weekend, as the boys secured a convincing eight-wicket victory over Whitchurch CC (Somerset) 2nd XI.
After Whitchurch won the toss and elected to bat first, BSLCC produced an excellent bowling display to dismiss them for 125 in 28.3 overs. Bisanda was the standout performer with the ball, taking an outstanding 4-23 from his 8 overs, including a maiden. Naufel then ripped through the lower order with an excellent 3-9 from just 2.3 overs, while Navam picked up 2-25 from 6 overs. Roshan also bowled a very tidy spell, finishing with 1-15 from 5 overs, including two maidens, as the boys kept the pressure on throughout the innings.
Chasing 126, BSLCC lost Asanka early for 2 before Weshan contributed 14 from 19 balls. When Weshan departed with the score at 49/2, Jeevan and Keshan took complete control of the chase.
Jeevan produced a brilliant unbeaten 50 from 48 balls, hitting 7 fours, while Keshan played an excellent attacking innings of 39 not out from 37 balls, including 3 fours and 3 sixes. The pair put together an unbeaten 77-run partnership to take BSLCC comfortably over the line at 126/2 in just 17.4 overs.
A special mention to Bisanda, who was deservedly named BSLCC Man of the Match for his superb spell of 4-23, playing a huge role in restricting Whitchurch to a total the boys were able to chase down comfortably.
A complete team performance from the 2nd XI, with a clinical display with the ball followed by a confident and composed run chase. A brilliant eight-wicket win. Well played, boys.
