Match report OPCC 4s lost to Old Brentwoods 3s by 136 runs

Parks hosted the league-leaders, Old Brentwoods CC, on a blustery day. Having won the toss, Parks elected to field first, aiming to take advantage of the damp pitch and overcast conditions. The Parks bowlers exerted immense pressure on the opposition throughout the innings with their disciplined line and length. Particularly noteworthy were the performances of Lakshmi Narayanan (12-0-40-4) and Farzan Habib (7-0-30-3), who made scoring incredibly difficult for the Old Brentwoods batsmen. Parks displayed excellent fielding skills and managed to capitalise on 5 out of the 7 catch opportunities presented, ultimately restricting the opposition to a modest total of 177 within 41 overs. The top scorer for Old Brentwoods was their opening batsman, Richard Bray, who contributed 64 runs.

Aware that 177 was a below-par score on their home pitch, Parks commenced their innings with confidence, understanding that if they batted out the full 44 overs, they could successfully chase down the target. However, the unfolding events deviated drastically from the anticipated script. Parks faced a formidable challenge as the opposition's opening bowlers unleashed extreme pace and displayed remarkable accuracy. Wickets began to fall as early as the second over, and by the fifth over, Parks found themselves reeling at 3 wickets down for a mere 6 runs. The situation only worsened as the two opening bowlers wreaked havoc, leaving the Parks batsmen struggling to cope with the relentless assault from both ends. In a disheartening turn of events, Parks were bowled out for a paltry 40 runs in just 21 overs.

Aside from securing the full bowling points, this defeat proved to be an immensely disappointing outcome for Parks, especially after a convincing victory the previous week. Now, Parks must swiftly regroup and overcome this setback, as they prepare for the upcoming challenges that lie ahead.
