MATCH OVER!
Dreux win by 124 runs!
Dreux 189/0 (10) Hornchurch 65/10 (9)
George Hankins 21 (12) | Jalpesh Vijay 16 (12)
Tabish Bhatti 3-12 | Mohammad Nisar 2-2
What an amazing performance from Dreux to register a mammoth 124-run victory. The win was obviously set up by the opening duo of Hamza Niaz and Ahmad Nabi who put on a sensational unbeaten 189-run partnership.
The bowlers didn't take it for granted either as Afridi Yaseen removed the dangerous Adeel Malik in the very first over. George Hankins looked good for a while but the left-arm spinner Tabish Bhatti came in and took three wickets. Bhatti's triple strikes along with the run-out of Chris Sains meant Dreux were reduced to 56/5 after 5.4 overs. There was no coming back from the situation as wickets continued to fall at regular intervals. In the end, Mohammad Nisar got a couple of scalps in the ninth to wrap up the proceedings!
