Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club 2nd XI v Gide Park & Romford on Sat 01 Jul 2023 at 12.30pm
Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club Won by 21

Match report 2nd XI beat Romford and Gidea Park by 21 runs

Parks batted first in overcast conditions but got through the new ball well, with Neil Brathwaite once again providing an excellent start with 59. There were also important contributions from Sifth Ali (41) and Aman Ali (40) – the brothers batting together for the first time in years. Osman Choudary (31) and Rohitraj Ananraj (28) then put on a brisk partnership to close the innings at 236/7 off 50 overs.

Parks always felt that this would be a tough ask given their quality spin attack, but Gidea Park got off to a good start and found themselves 160/2 requiring just a run a ball to win the game. Some good catching and accurate bowling then started to work for Parks, as one by one wickets tumbled going for the ever increasing required run rate. Navine Sureshan was chief destroyer, taking 6/54 in 11 overs, whilst spin partner Prajen Kavinkumar also picked up 3/51 in 11. A fantastic contribution from these two colts and it meant Parks ran out relatively comfortable winners with 21 runs to spare. A really top effort that leaves Parks top of the Division 1 table at the half way point in the season.
