It was a disappointing outing for our Hawkesbury 5th, who fell to Northern District 5th in a tough outing.
First up, Northern District 5th made 9/340 from 50 overs. Our opponents' best was a half-century from Alish Hirani, who made 63. The visitors' best was a half-century from Alexander Perry, who made 54. With the ball, Nishchaijeet Mangat did the damage, claiming three for 34 off ten overs. Dharshan Mathiseelan claimed two for 38 as well.
In reply, we finished on 139 from 36 overs. Ashbi Singh top-scored, making 38 off 39 balls. There were also handy runs from Aarush Shah (24). Oscar Turner was the main threat for our opponents, taking four for 26.
We'll take the lessons from this one and go again. Chins up, everyone.
