Derbyshire v Kent - Clydesdale Bank 40 - Group C – Derbyshire post 62 runs in 14 overs – Live Score and Update
Derbyshire 62/5 (14/14 ov) – Kent won the toss and chose to field
In the ongoing Clydesdale Bank 40 tournament, Derbyshire posted a total of 62 runs for the loss of five wickets against Kent in the rain infested encounter, at County Ground, Derby, on Tuesday, July 31, 2012.
With clouds hovering above, Kent won the toss and chose to field first in a bid to halt the hosts on a small total.
However, rain soon followed, interrupting the game and almost causing an abrupt end to the match.
The game was later reduced to 14 overs for both sides, giving fans something to look forward to.
Derbyshire’s return in the middle, brought them bad luck as with 22 runs on the board, they lost their first wicket with opener, CF Hughes, getting caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Coles-c51379 on a tally of 11.
Then with 26 runs on the scoreboard, fans saw http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Azhar-Mahmood-c1116 obliterate UT Khawaja’s stumps at a time when the batsman had posted only 11 runs off 23 deliveries.
With the openers back in the pavilion, middle-order batsman, WJ Durston and WL Madsen forged a rebuild phase in order to humble the raging Kent bowling unit.
After steering their team to a total of 41 runs, the partnership came to its end on the demise of Durston, who was dismissed by DI Stevens, after moulding an innings of 11 runs.
Things were turning weird for the home crowd, watching their third wicket go down on a tally of 11.
However, this trend ended when Madsen had his stumps shattered after scoring a knock of nine runs. At the time of his demise, Derbyshire had amassed 46 runs.
A run later, they lost their fifth wicket of the day on the first delivery of the final over, as DJ Redfern was run out on a score of four.
AL Hughes and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Justin-Lee-Langer-c69712 Clare stayed unbeaten on four and 11 runs, to guide their side towards a total of 62.
From http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stevens-c91368, was the best bowler with two wickets to his name.
