Chaddesley Corbett’s second XI fell to their second defeat in as many games in a seven wicket defeat against West Malvern in Division Five.

Barnt Green’s fixture against Smethwick fell to an abandonment in Birmingham & District Premier Division One, just an over into the second innings.
Green elected to field having won the toss, but were subjected to a batting masterclass by the hosts during the 40 over-a-side match.
Opener Ali Ebad hit 51 from 70 balls faced, including six fours, but it was Gurinder Singh who stole the show, hitting 82 – including eight into the boundary and three sixes, leaving Smethwick on 214-6 by the time of his departure.
Zain Ul-Hassan took four wickets for 34 runs for Barnt Green, whilst Andrew Sutton took 2-48 from eight overs bowled.
The hosts eventually finished on 230-9 from their 50 overs, but with Tom Brown and Ul-Hassan taking nine from the sole over of the innings, the match was abandoned with conditions becoming unplayable.
