In an exhilarating clash, Didcot emerged victorious against Horspath CC in a match that showcased remarkable bowling and a resilient batting performance.

Horspath CC won the toss and elected to bat first, putting Didcot in the field. Didcot's bowler Samar Wadhwa gave his team a fantastic start by taking a wicket in his first over, setting the tone for a competitive game. However, Horspath managed to wrestle back some momentum, building a partnership that briefly put them in control.

Didcot's bowlers, determined to keep the pressure on, delivered some tight bowling. Ralph Tallick, Tristian Blakemore and Dewansh Korrapati kept the runs in check with disciplined spells. Samar Wadhwa continued his excellent form with a maiden over, tightening the screws further. The standout moment came from Jacob Webb, who turned the tide decisively with an outstanding over, taking three wickets (plus a runout) and crippling Horspath's batting lineup. Additionally, Elliot Smith's brilliant catch was a highlight, showcasing Didcot's sharp fielding efforts.

Horspath CC's innings came to a close at a modest 85 runs, a total that reflected the relentless pressure applied by Didcot's bowlers.

In response, Didcot started their chase confidently but soon found themselves in a spot of bother, losing three quick wickets. Dewansh Korrapati then took charge, playing a crucial inning of 22 runs off 24 balls, which included a stunning six over cows corner that energised his team and the spectators. Ryan Oliver provided steady support, remaining unbeaten on 7 runs.

With four overs to spare, Ralph Tallick finished the game in style, hitting a boundary to secure the winning runs, leading Didcot to a well-deserved triumph.
