White Knights Baldivis defeated by Mandurah
Lewis Binns claimed a stunning 3/6 to help Mandurah defend their total against Baldivis on Saturday.
The White Knights sent Mandurah into bat first and an unbeaten 60 runs from Matt Jenkinson, along with 24 to Louis Baker, buoyed them to a total of 9/180 from their 50 overs, despite Baldivis’ Mitch Brown taking a gallant 4/22 from 10 overs.
Cameron Reyne did everything he could to help Baldivis chase a victory with 80 runs before he was caught off a Binns’ delivery, which led to a downward spiral in the home side’s tail end as they were cleaned up on 148 from their 36 overs.
The win moves Mandurah to a 2-0 record from their opening fortnight.
This was one of my greatest achievements in cricket, but not just because of the elated feeling myself and the team felt after an important win. But because it was the 2nd week in a new country, learning how to cope with being away from home, meeting new people whilst also trying to get the best possible results from myself as a cricketer. I look back on this moment regularly as a reminder to myself that anything is possible! 😀
