Durham secure victory against Yorkshire by four wickets – Cricket news
Durham beat Yorkshire by four wickets on Sunday, June 30, in their Friends Life t20 North Division match, at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough.
Durham with this win are at fourth place with 1.75 points from two games, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yorkshire-c867 are just behind them after losing both their games.
After winning the toss, Durham chose to field first and were punished right from the get go by Yorkshire openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Gale-c1039 and Adam Lyth. The two openers smacked the bowlers all around the park, giving their side a stand of 51 runs, before Ryan Pringle
crashed the party by nabbing the wicket of Gale, who departed after hammering a knock of 34 runs.
The second-wicket partnership between Lyth and Dan Hodgson was short-lived as it was broken with 62 runs on the board. Pringle was the man once again to deliver this blow as he destroyed Lyth’s stumps with the batsman on 21. Later with 68 runs on the board,
the batting side lost their third wicket on the dismissal of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hodgson-c63281 for seven.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AU-Rashid-c1106 then hammered their side towards 94 runs before this partnership also met its end on the wicket of the former, who fell with 19 runs to his name.
With the lower-order struggling against a very strong bowling attack, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/LE-Plunkett-c1833 hammered a beautiful 30 to play a key role in helping his side post 146 in 20 overs for the loss of seven wickets.
Durham then had the worst possible start to their run chase as they lost their first wicket with only four runs on the board. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mark-Stoneman-c1910 was the first man from Durham to walk off the field after he was dismissed for three runs.
Later with 25 runs on the board, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 was removed with
14 to his name. A run later Yorkshire struck again by dismissing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Stokes-c1142 for nil.
Nonetheless, Mustard’s 59 and Gordon Muchall’s 44 were enough take their side across the finish line with one ball remaining.
