Lynbrook go back-to-back

Lynbrook and Keysborough have both won their second consecutive game in the Dandenong District Cricket Association Turf 3 competition.

After three wickets to opening bowler Ismatulla Shariffie and Cody Thompson kept Narre North to 131, skipper Sithara Perera guided Lynbrook to victory.

The Lakers lost both openers in quick succession, with Perera coming in at three and anchoring the innings, absorbing pressure and allowing the Lakers middle order to bat around his patient 37 in a three wicket victory.

At St Mary’s, Keysborough opening bowler Sartaj Shinwari bowled unbelievably in a competitive first innings, taking 4/25, with two of his wickets coming before the hosts had registered a run.

It put the Saints on the back foot but they were able to recover thanks to an unbeaten 81 to number four Ashan Anthony which gave them 161 to defend.

Keysborough skipper Jackson O’Brien scored an efficient 49 with contributions throughout the order helping the Knights to a two-wicket win.

Buckley Ridges proved too strong for Berwick Springs, chasing down the Titans’ 7/202 in the last over of the match.

Seven Berwick Springs batters scored at least 14, but none was able to seize the innings and put the game beyond reach, which the visitors pounced on, with openers Cooper Gray and Mann Patel scoring 80 and 62 respectively to set up the chase.

Springvale South, meanwhile, proved far too strong for Fountain Gate, bowling the Gators out for 88 and cruising to a nine-wicket win.
