The opening bowling pair were well supported by Jigar Mehta and Ryss Wynne as they all ripped through the West Herts batting. After 33 overs West Herts were all out for 116. The best Mymms bowler was Beretov, returning 5 for 41 off 12.2 overs. Mehta and Wynne each claimed 2 scalps with Arif taking the last.

Only three West Herts batsment made double figures.

With darkened clouds gathering and the threat of rain, Mymms decided to change the opening pair to chase the target before the heavens opened.

Steve Snell joined regular opener Rhys Wynne and between them made very light work of the West Herts bowling.

15 overs later, it was all over. Wynne not out on 35 and Snell not out on 83 off only 48 balls, a strike rate of 173, sealed victory for Mymms.
