Playing at home, our Western Suburbs 5th were bettered by Sutherland 5th in a tough outing.
Sutherland 5th batted first and put 4/144 on the board from 20 overs. Credit to Parth Taya, who made a half-century (50) for our opponents. Our best with the ball was Riley Cornforth, who took three for 25.
Needing 145 to win, we finished on 9/72 from 20 overs. Sudharshan Suresh remained unbeaten with 19.
There were some fine individual efforts to build on. The side will be keen to bounce back.
