KINGS HEATH WON BY 9 WICKETS

Sheldon Marlborough initially batted well against the swing bowlers, runs not flowing quickly but not losing wickets. Stuart Millard was particularly impressive only conceding seven runs from his five over spell. The introduction of spin from Josh Williams (3 wickets) and Parminder Bhomra (4 wickets) saw Sheldon lose wickets and finish on 83 all out. The chase was never in doubt despite the early loss of Rizwan for 12. Parminder continued his fine form against this opposition following his fifty the previous week, making 29 not out, and Sam Crocker finishing unbeaten on 40 for his first significant senior league runs of the season. The win came in 19 overs after only 63 minutes play in the second innings.
