The 6s made an explosive start as Venkatraman and 'keeper David Parker raced to 20 off of two over. 'Heath were cruising at 56-1 when the second wicket fell in the 13th over. By now NatWest had discovered the key to bowling in Charlton Park, claiming regular wickets. Sadman Ahmed threatened to turn the tide with a mature innings but he was stranded when last man Alan Bosworth was bowled with 9 runs required for a win.
