Upminster 4th XI v Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club 3rd XI on Sat 13 Jul 2024 at 12.30pm
Oakfield Parkonians Cricket Club Lost by 2 wickets

Match report After a rain hit weekend last week, Parks travelled to Upminster hoping to continue building on their decent run of results.

Parks lost the toss and were put into bat first. With cloudy, overcast conditions, Parks initially took their time to get settled in on a good but slightly two-paced pitch. Aryan Desai JNR played a watchful innings and scored a good 33 before being caught. Nikhith P was once more the pick of the line up, scoring a 54 at almost run a ball. This helped Parks reach a fighting total of 191 at the halfway stage of the match.

Upminster started with aggressive intent but Parks picked up two early wickets giving them hope that they could go on and secure the victory. Despite pretty good ground fielding and some spectacular catches in the match (notably Chetan Patel, Aman Patel and Fazan Habib), Parks also dropped a few catches at crucial moments in the game. Opposition opening batsmen Mitansh Shah was dropped relatively early on before going on to score 59, and in the end that was the difference between winning and losing. Praven took three wickets and was supported well by the other bowlers Aryan Jnr (2 wickets), Janeban and Rameyaan (1 wicket each). In the end, Upminster won the game by two wickets in a hard-fought tight contest played in good spirit.

Parks can take away a lot of positives from the match in game which was in the end decided by very fine margins. Parks travel to Frenford next week and will look to get back to winning ways.
