Reading 2’s vs Faulkland 2’s

Reading CC won the toss and elected to bat.

A solid foundation was set by the opening pair Firaz and Ishan who put up 40 off the first 10 overs when the first wicket led to another brisk collapse to 80-4, which brought the skipper, Tom, to the crease alongside Phil. The two put on a vital partnership of 76 with Phil hitting a solid knock of 61. Some very quick runs from Luke B and smart batting from Raheel at the end brought Reading to a final score of 202 runs. The second innings began with some tight bowling from T (Thisara) and Raheel, which brought Reading 2 early wickets and had Falkland at 32-2. Multiple dropped chances and sluggish efforts in the field allowed the batsmen to put up a big 2nd wicket partnership. The final 20 overs of the game consisted of excellent and decisive bowling and a couple of quick wickets from Ish provided an opening to seize the game for Reading, however, it was more missed chances late in the match that allowed Falkland to grasp the game in the final over. The late batting and bowling effort was certainly a huge positive for the young side and a great learning opportunity to take on board for the rest of the season. There is still a lot to play for.
