Grammar missed a golden chance to secure a 2nd win of the season as they cam up short by 9 runs chasing Knightriders 171 all out. As has been the case this season, no one could make a telling score with 38 from Salman Bedaar and 29 from Harry Mapplebeck not proving enough. With the ball a good all round showing restricted Knightriders well, Sameer Bin Khalid nipping in with 4 for 21, Harry Mapplebeck with 2 for 20 and Hassaan claiming 2 for 43.
Grammar’s chase was always behind the rate but with wickets in hand they were hopeful of a late dash to the finish. At 74 for 1 they were well placed but as the rate climbed Grammar struggled to up the pace and lost crucial wickets in an ultimately frustrating loss.
Next up for Grammar is a very tricky home tie with Mannofield, with everyone hoping the grass has been cut.
