At Northbridge A, our UNSW 1st beat Gordon 1st to collect a well-earned win.
After batting first, we finished on 9/261 from 50 overs. Annay Chauhan made an excellent 70 off 118 balls, a well-made fifty. Fifty for Nihal Desai, who finished with 63 off 73 balls. Mahsen Narvel played a handy knock of 42. Matthew Wright returned three for 50 for Gordon 1st.
In reply, our opponents finished on 215 from 46 overs. Credit to Joe Pocklington, who made a half-century (77) for the hosts. Jack Shelley added a handy 39 for our opponents. The wickets were shared around, with Blayde Burke taking three for 43. Desai offered good support with two for 36.
The work with the ball set up the win. Getting that first win of the season on the board is an excellent moment for the team. Well played, all.
