Exiles picked up win number 6 of the 2024 season with a 57 run victory against Merton at Cottenham Park.
Exiles batted first and were in some trouble at 88 for 7, despite a couple of sixes from Manzar as batting was generally tricky. But a critical 48 from KK, supported by our obdurate keeper John, took the side to 152 all out with one ball unused of the 40.
Merton seemed confident and apparently had a couple of saturday first teamers in their ranks and seemed well set at 82 for 3 only for Exiles debutant spin ace Sohail to take 5 for 30, supported by a couple of wickets from Manzar as Merton were skittled for 95.
A fine victory in a match that ebbed and flowed. Onwards next week to play Ploughmans in Dulwich.
