Cricket: Cupholders, Bailey’s Bay open the series with a victory over Flatt’s Victoria
It came down to the wire, but in the end, it was the Cup holders who did just enough to fend off a spirited challenge from Flatt’s Victoria.
Originally scheduled for a 10 a.m. start, the match was delayed by rain and eventually got underway at 2 p.m.
Flatt’s won the toss and elected to field — a decision that initially looked promising as the challengers bowled out Bailey’s Bay for just 107 runs.
With a historic upset within reach and a modest target to chase, Flatt’s had a golden opportunity. But they were unable to capitalise, falling agonisingly short by just 10 runs.
Final score: Bailey’s Bay 106, Flatt’s Victoria 96.
