South Woodford v Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club 3rd XI on Sat 08 Jun 2024 at 12.30pm
Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club Won by 86 runs

Match report In a clash between Oakfield Parkonians 3rd XI and South Woodford 3rd XI, South Woodford won the toss and elected to bowl first. At the time, it seemed like a good toss to win with overcast conditions on a pitch with a slight slope.

Parks lost an early wicket but Chetan Patel (39) and Akhil Patel (23) stabilised the innings with some calculated aggressive stroke play. Nikhith Poddutoori was the star of the show scoring a eye-catching 50 against an accurate bowling attack. With lower order contributions from Janeban and Aryan Desai, Parks managed to muscle their way to a fighting total of 216 in their 45 overs. Rizwan Javed was the pick of the South Woodford bowlers picking up three wickets.

In response, South Woodford got off to the worst possible start, having lost their opening batsman Shahab in the first over. However, this did not stop them from sprinting out of the blocks. They started aggressively, trying to almost hit every ball out of the park. Boundaries were free flowing but Parks kept their composure and got the danger batsmen Rizwan Javed (34) and Mahmoon (22) out before they could do some serious damage. Last week Parks fielding and catching let them down, however, this time around it was a different story. The energy in the field was electric despite South Woodford scoring 100 runs in the first 14 overs. The turning point of the match was when captain Fazan Habib took a stunning diving catch at deep mid-wicket to dismiss Mehran Akhram (43) who was settled in and looking to take the game away from Parks. In the end, the game was won emphatically by Parks skittling the rest of the batting line up in a swift manner. This was truly a team effort, with all the bowlers taking wickets but a special mention to young Aryan Desai Jnr, the returning Satish Chaudhari and Sachin Arora who all picked up three wickets a piece.
