V.O.C Draw first Blood in Nakuru

Nakuru's domestic 45-over competition kicked off yesterday with Akshar 'B' taking on V.O.C at the NAC ground in Nakuru.

Akshar B won the toss and decided to bat on a wicket holding a lot of overnight moisture. V.O.C capitalised with some great Left arm In swinging yorkers by Batuk and a hostile Right arm spell from Ketan, both of whom finished with 4 wickets for the innings. A late fightback from Dipesh and Marvin gave Akshar some respectability, but in the end they were all out for 111. In reply, Ravi gave V.O.C no shortage of trouble, also taking 4 wickets, but Akshar gave away far too many extras to defend a small total, and V.O.C reached the target with 4 wickets still remaining.
