Batting Collapse

Harlow won the toss and elected to field. Belhus started well before the first wicket fell off the bowling of Lewis Aldred of opener Matt Doran with the score at 77. Another wicket soon went but the next was not till the score was on 184 before number two batsman Joe Joyce went on 97 just short of his century run out. Wickets then fell at a steady pace with Belhus finishing on 235 from their allocated 50 overs. Pick of the Harlow bowling was Mustanser Meraj with figures of 51-4 from 10 overs.

Harlow started steady with the wicket of Hafiz Yawar falling with the score on 59, for 26. This was the best it was going to get for Harlow unfortunately. Wickets fell at regular intervals before they where all bowled out for 122 from just 32.2 overs. Alan Jones scored 24, Captain Rehman Ahmed 23 and Nicky Baxter finished on 23 not out. Nobody else made double figures.
