1st XI vs Windsor

Mohammed Stars as Sonning Secure Victory Over Windsor

Sonning 1st XI claimed a hard-fought win against Windsor in their latest fixture, with Zahid Mohammed delivering an outstanding all-round performance. After posting 185/9 in their allocated overs, Sonning successfully defended their total, dismissing Windsor for 167 to secure an 18-run victory.

Mohammed was the standout performer for Sonning, contributing a match-defining 65 runs with the bat before demonstrating his bowling prowess with exceptional figures of 4/25 from his eight-over spell. His batting partnership with Muhammad Ayub (42) proved crucial in building Sonning's competitive total after opener Peter Higginbottom departed early for just 5 runs.

Daniel Longridge provided valuable late-order runs, remaining unbeaten on 17, while Khalid "Bobby" Malik added 10 not out to help Sonning reach their final total of 185/9. The tail-end contribution proved significant in what eventually became a closely contested match.

In their bowling defense, Sonning displayed excellent discipline and teamwork. Beyond Mohammed's four-wicket haul, Daniel Longridge claimed 3/21 in a devastating 4.4-over spell, while Peter Higginbottom delivered a miserly 7 overs, taking 2/11. The fielding unit supported the bowlers admirably, with Khalid Malik taking two catches and four other fielders—Higginbottom, Ayub, Mohammed, Kwatsha, and Peshkar—each claiming one as Sonning dismissed Windsor for 167 to seal their victory.
