Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club Won by 5 wickets.

Match report In an exciting encounter, Oakfield Parkonians CC secured a 5-wicket victory over Woodford Wells CC. Electing to field first after winning the toss, Oakfield Parkonians managed to restrict Woodford Wells to 230/8 in their allotted 50 overs.


Woodford Wells CC started cautiously, with their overseas opener falling early for 5, dismissed by Sifth Ali. Their Skipper anchored the innings with a patient 48 off 98 balls, including five boundaries and one six. Parks picked up wickets on a regular basis, but there were still important knocks from the Wells batsmen in the lower/middle order. The outfield was slow from the weekly rain and pitch was a bit two paced, and the Parks bowlers felt they did well to restrict Wells to 230 and was going to be a good chase from the Parks batsmen. Priyamal Perera was the standout bowler for Oakfield Parkonians, taking 3 wickets for just 32 runs in his 10 overs. Taranpreet Bhatia also chipped in with 2 wickets.

Chasing 231, Oakfield Parkonians had a shaky start. They lost opener Paran Kalley for a duck, bowled by Robert McNeill, who also dismissed Umar Choudhry for 14. Faisal Bhatti provided some stability with his 21 runs, but the team was in trouble at 60/4 after 17 overs.

However, Priyamal Perera and Paresh Kalley engineered a remarkable turnaround. Perera, showcasing exceptional skill and composure, remained unbeaten on 88 off 92 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes. Kalley played a crucial supporting role, scoring an unbeaten 84 off 103 balls with eight fours and four sixes. Their unbroken partnership ensured Oakfield Parkonians reached the target in 48 overs.
