Portsmouth & Southsea Cricket Club Won by 41 Runs

Match report The Mighty 3's put up a solid total of 188 for 8 in their allotted 45 overs, setting a challenging target for their opponents. The innings was anchored by Harrison Whitworth, who played a dominant knock of 51 runs off 60 balls, featuring two fours and three sixes. His innings along with Mohit Patel's brisk 19 runs off 22 balls was crucial in providing a strong foundation for the team. A superb middle order partnership led by Jacob Phillimore who contributed a steady 36 runs off 80 balls, hitting five boundaries, and Sesh Nadathur also played a significant role, scoring a quick 32 runs off 44 balls with five fours, helped to accelerate innings. Despite some middle-order wobbles, the team managed to post a competitive score, thanks to these key contributions. Hursley Park's bowlers put in a disciplined performance, with Charlie Goodchild (7-0-31-2) and Rory Tennant (9-3-18-1) being the pick of the bowlers. Mike Brimble (9-2-24-1) and Charlie Wells (5-1-24-1) also chipped in with important wickets, but their efforts couldn't prevent Portsmouth & Southsea from reaching a formidable total.

In response, Hursley Park 3rd XI struggled to build substantial partnerships and were bowled out for 147 in 44.3 overs, falling short of the target by 41 runs. Nick Best was the standout performer with the bat, scoring 42 runs off 73 balls, including two fours and two sixes. He provided some resistance but lacked support from the other end. Paul Marks contributed 19 runs off 52 balls, while Oliver Brimble added 16 runs off 47 balls, but both were unable to convert their starts into significant scores. The lower middle order and tailenders couldn't muster enough runs to challenge the target set by Portsmouth & Southsea. The home team's bowlers were exceptional, led by Harrison Whitworth, who delivered an impressive spell, taking 3 wickets for just 10 runs in his 8.3 overs. Sam Wheeler also bowled brilliantly, claiming 3 wickets for 26 runs in his 9 overs. Romit Patel and Sesh Nadathur supported well with two and one wickets respectively. Despite a fighting effort from Best, Hursley Park 3rd XI fell short, handing Portsmouth & Southsea a well-deserved and convincing victory to start the season positively.

MVP - Harrison Whitworth, a fine afternoon with both bat & ball to start the season on the front foot
DOTD - For providing a comedy run out and forgetting where Mid Off was, Syed Rahman takes the cap
Shot of the Day - Mo Patels six in the first over to lose the new ball in amongst a bush of nettles off a creek
Champagne Moment - Seeing Nice Man Sesh lose his cool over the mid off incident, priceless
Village Moment - How do you forget where mid off is?
