There was plenty to celebrate as our Eastern Suburbs CC edged Strathfield Black on Sunday at Trumper Park.
We kept Strathfield Black to 7/265 from 40 overs. Anil Kumar posted 51 for the visitors, a stylish fifty. William Barge bowled nicely to finish with three for 36.
In reply, the side reached the target at 9/276 in 39.4 overs. Aakarsh Bhatnagar brought up a great century, finishing with 114 off 113 balls. Barge passed fifty on the way to 88 off 48 balls with seven fours and four sixes. There were also handy runs from Zarif Faisal (41). Sriramsetty SriNaveen claimed four for 37 for our opponents.
Contributions came from right through the line-up. The winning run now stretches to three games.
Congratulations to all involved.
