Match report OPCC 4s beat Upminster 5s by 3 wkts

After winning the toss, the captain of Parks decided to field first, capitalising on the damp pitch caused by overnight rain. The opening bowler, Sriraman Srividyanandan, showcased remarkable pace, creating a challenging environment for the opening batting duo. Keerthigan Thangavel effectively supported from the opposite end with his precise bowling. The entire bowling lineup contributed to maintaining a low scoring rate, resulting in Upminster concluding their innings at 175-8.

In response, Parks faced an early setback with the dismissal of Yash Patel. However, Jonathan Balakumar (30) and Pranav Khetia (60) displayed composure and attacking instincts, ensuring the chase stayed on course. Substantial contributions from Preven Sureshan (23) and Princis Alvin (14) further aided Parks in crossing the finish line with three overs to spare, securing a 2 wicket win.

Following this much needed victory, Parks have climbed to the 7th position in the league standings. To secure their position above the relegation zone, they must secure victories in their remaining two matches.
