It was a tough day out for our Western Suburbs Mens 2nd Grade, who fell just short against Gold Coast Mens 2nd Grade at Bill Pippen Oval on Saturday.
We batted first and put 233 on the board from 50 overs. Fifty for Pranav Susarla, who finished with 94 off 126 balls. Sohaan Sharma passed fifty on the way to 62 off 100 balls with three fours. Credit to Prince Lucky, who claimed a five-wicket haul (five for 26) for Gold Coast Mens 2nd Grade.
The hosts reached the target at 8/237 in 49.5 overs. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Tim Martin, who made 69. The wickets were shared around, with Susarla taking three for 29. Darcy Murphy backed up well, taking two for 42.
There are plenty of positives to take out of this one.
The results haven't gone our way lately, but the side will keep at it. Back to the nets, and on to the next one.
