Birmingham Bears thump Northamptonshire by 21 runs to bag important two points
Northamptonshire won the toss and opted to field first. Their decision to field first didn’t pay off as they were taken to the cleaners by the Birmingham Bears openers.
Alex Davies (46) and Rob Yates (71) smashed a sensational 100 runs for the opening partnership. Before Sam Hain chipped in with a crucial knock of unbeaten 48 runs to take his team to a total of 202 runs. For the bowling side, skipper David Willey, Andrew Tye, and Freddie Heldreich bagged two wickets each.
Chasing the target, Northamptonshire lost Chris Lynn (7) and Josh Cobb (3) early but Ricardo Vasconcelos (65) and skipper David Willey (33) kept their side in the hunt. They, however, kept losing wickets at regular intervals and could manage just 187 runs. For Birmingham Bears, Craig Miles was the star bowler as he picked 4 wickets and conceded 29 runs.
