Warwickshire Triumph in Thrilling 100-ball Cricket Live Match Against Surrey

In a captivating 100-ball cricket club match, Warwickshire emerged victorious by three runs over a heavily-depleted Surrey side at Rugby School. The home team’s half-centuries from Chris Benjamin and Michael Burgess laid the foundation for their 311/9 total, which Surrey nearly chased down despite a brilliant 149-run knock from Dom Sibley.

Warwickshire’s Impressive Batting Performance

Opting to bowl first, Surrey made an early breakthrough when Ed Barnard edged James Taylor to slip. However, a 58-run partnership between Rob Yates and Will Rhodes followed, before both perished cheaply. Hamza Shaikh’s quickfire 39 further boosted Warwickshire’s innings, but the standout performers were Benjamin and Burgess, who added 117 runs in 14 overs. Benjamin’s 75 off 38 balls, laced with six fours and four sixes, and Burgess’ classy 60 provided the late impetus, taking the total past the 300-mark.

Surrey’s Valiant Chase Effort

In response, Surrey’s chase was anchored by Sibley’s sublime List A-best 149, comprising 12 fours and four sixes. He found able support from Ben Geddes (62), but the fall of the latter triggered a middle-order collapse. Despite Sibley’s heroics and a late flourish from Josh Blake, Surrey fell agonizingly short, finishing on 308/9.

“This was a thrilling 100-ball cricket live match that showcased the excitement and drama of the format,” said Warwickshire’s head coach.

This captivating 100-ball cricket live match saw Warwickshire maintain their unbeaten start in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, while Surrey suffered their fourth straight defeat in the competition.
