From then on Nicol and Sach proceeded to hit the bowlers to every corner of the ground with some clean striking and some quick running between the wickets.




At drinks Avoncroft were 155 without loss and looking for a big total.

What they didn’t expect was for the onslaught on the bowlers by the duo.
