Unicorns v Kent - Clydesdale Bank 40 - Group C - Unicorns hammer 177 - Live Score and Update
Unicorns 177/8 (40/40 ov) – Kent won the toss and chose to field
On Tuesday, June 05, Unicorns bolted a total of 177 runs against Kent in their Clydesdale Bank 40 Group C match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kent-c802 played at Garon Park, Southend-on-Sea.
After winning the toss, Kent chose to put the opposition into bat in order to restrict them on a meagre total and grab an easy win by chasing down a reachable total.
MT http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Coles-c51379 was the first bowler to strike for his team as he grabbed the wicket of Unicorns opener BL Wadlan with 16 runs on the board as the batsman found his way back to the pavilion after scoring an innings of seven runs.
Kent were then taken aback by an astounding batting performance from JE Ord and wicketkeeper/batsman TJ New, as the duo slammed the bowlers without a hint of remorse in a bid to bolster a staggering total on the board.
Finally with 88 runs on the board, the misery of the bowlers came to its end on the wicket of JE Ord, who had his stumps incinerated by DI http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stevens-c91368 after smashing an innings of 52 runs off 76 deliveries.
Ten runs later, Unicorns saw their third wicket go down as New was trapped in front of stumps off a delivery bowled by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JC-Tredwell-c1676 after scoring an innings of 31 runs.
Skipper KA http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Parsons-c80768 (5) and V Tripathi (2) then failed to perform as they departed without hammering big knocks.
The batting side needed to maintain stability in order to end their innings on a high, while this was exactly the moment when the bowling side could make a comeback in the match as a couple of more wickets were destined to put the batting side under enormous pressure.
While all other batsmen seemed nervous and ill prepared to face the bowlers, LM Reece stood apart as he jabbed a well tamed innings of 36 runs, staying unbeaten to help his team amass a decent total on the board.
From Kent, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BP-Nash-c1183 was the best bowler with two wickets in his six overs. Kent now need to bat with some composure in order to successfully chase down the required total to win the match.
