It wasn't to be for our Randwick Petersham 3rd, who were denied by UNSW 3rd despite Benjamin Chaplin's 52.
We ended on 7/205 and UNSW 3rd on 6/206. Hirav Gandhi posted 57 for our opponents, a polished fifty. Kaylan Mantara starred with the ball, taking two for 38.
Benjamin Chaplin posted a half-century, making 52 off 49 balls with four fours. Mantara weighed in with 41 off 66 balls. Rishabh Goyal played a handy knock of 40. For the hosts, Hammad Ahmed took three for 46 off nine overs.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. A tough stretch, and one the team will be determined to end. Plenty to work on, and plenty to like.
