On Saturday, our Prahran 2nd XI fell to Essendon 2nd XI with lessons to take away.
Essendon 2nd XI's innings closed at 7/289 from 50 overs. The hosts' best was a half-century from Simrth Singh Gill, who made 77. Fifty for Vihanga Fernando, who made 56 for our opponents. Damon Malcolm returned figures of four for 34 off eight overs.
In reply, the side were all out for 270 in 48 overs. Fifty for Malcolm, who finished with 85 off 84 balls. Lachlan Zissis made a great 53 off 71 balls, a well-made fifty. Will Scott weighed in with 37 off 34 balls. Arshit Rajput did the damage for the hosts with four for 53.
Plenty to take out of this one. It's been a tough run, and we'll be working hard to turn it around. Chins up, everyone.
