SUPER 8 CRICKET
The PNBHS 1st XI Cricket team is currently in Hamilton for the Super 8 Competition.
Location: Jansen Park, Hamilton
Monday 23 - PNBHS v Hastings Boys' at 10:30am.
Match Report - Ben O’Connor won the toss and elected to bat in a match that had been moved to the artificial surface at Steele Park in Hamilton. The batsmen made an inauspicious start, losing wickets early. The positive run-rate was maintained, however and the score was 35 in the sixth over when the third wicket fell. This trend continued, with only Caleb Hansen (76) making the most of his opportunities. Of the other batsmen, only Rishabh De played according to the match situation, scoring 22 and occupying the crease. Palmerston North were eventually bowled out for 156 with 8 overs to spare.
The 1st XI bowling effort was disciplined from the start, with both Jack Harris (2 for 17) and Cam Harridge bowling their 6 overs at an economy rate of 2.83. This put pressure on the batsmen and Bryn Wilson was able to snare 2 for 22. Ben O’Connor then ripped through the Hastings middle and lower order to take 4 for 11 from 6.1 overs. Congratulations must go to Finn Martin and Henry deans who bowled well to pick up their first wickets for the team.
Hastings were all out for 106 in the 37th over. Palmerston North Boys’ High won by 50 runs.
Tuesday 24 - PNBHS v Gisborne Boys' at 10:30am.
Wednesday 25 - PNBHS v New Plymouth at 10:30am.
