However, the daunting partnership met its doom with 119 runs on the wicket of North, who had his stumps obliterated by Balcombe after belting a resounding innings of 69 runs.
While, Wright kept the scoreboard ticking alongside Allenby, nonetheless, the partnership failed to flourish long enough to steer the side to victory as with 168 runs on the board, Wright found his way off the field after clobbering a knock of 32 runs, followed by the wicket of Allenby who perished on a tally of 23.
Skipper, MA Wallace, then put up a brave face as he forged an innings of 29 runs, desperately seeking to get his team across the finish line.
