It wasn't to be for our UNSW 5th, who lost to Parramatta Fifth Grade on a frustrating day.
After batting first, we finished on 9/230 from 50 overs. Krish Thakur posted a half-century, making 81 off 98 balls with two fours and seven sixes. Aryian Banker made a superb 62 not out off 90 balls, a well-made fifty. Credit to Benjamin Mani, who took three for 26 for Parramatta Fifth Grade.
Our opponents reached the target at 5/231 in 39.5 overs. Juhith Rajesidhiraju posted 57 for the hosts, a quality fifty. Adhvay Jayavarapu was the pick of the bowlers, taking three for 20 off ten overs.
There were some quality individual efforts to build on.
A tough stretch, and one the team will be determined to end. Back to the nets, and on to the next one.
