Northampton Exiles 238-8

Orangehillians 239-9

Orangehillians achieved their third successive victory on Sunday, beating Northampton Exiles in a cliff-hanger.

After Exiles declared at 238-8, Orangehillians were in trouble at 30-2. But a third-wicket stand of 107 between Simon Harradine (89) and Aczal Memon (39) improved the situation considerably.

Wickets tumbled again, before an eighth-wicket stand of 58 between Imran Akram (48no) and Praful Depala (25) helped them on the way.

Then two wickets fell in successive balls, before No 11 Amar Desai snatched victory.
