Match Report
Oranzaid Nazir made a spectacular debut for Sonning as they battled to a four-wicket win at Swindon NALGO.
Nazir came in for unavailable opener Mark Richards and blasted a hard-hit 80 as Sonning eased in at 157-6 in reply to NALGO’s 154 all out.
But Sonning skipper Gary Phillips admitted: “We made heavy weather of it.
It was more of a workmanlike performance this week and we gave silly wickets away towards the end.�
Swindon were in all sorts of trouble early on against leg-spinner Anwar Ul Haq and off spinner Latif Gohar.
Anwar took 5-46 and Latif also chipped in with a couple of wickets to leave Swindon on 80-8 before R Kewell (43no) and Chahal put together a vital stand to take them to a respectable score.
Nazir gave Sonning a lightning start as he punished Maurice Beale early on, then Latif hit 29 before holing out to midwicket.
Three other wickets fell soon after, but Sonning eased to victory.
