Match Report
An unbeaten partnership of 34 for the last wicket, between Mike Taylor and Sonu Singh saw Crusaders home in an exciting finish at Cheam Road. Having bowled out Sutton on a slightly damp wicket for 158, Crusaders found it equally tough, with only Wajih and Nita at the top of the order making worthwhile contributions. It was left to the wagging tail to carry us home, with Spud and Harpreet starting the recovery that was finished by Mike and Sonu.
