After opting to bat first at Lemnos Reserve, the visitors may have been quickly regretting their decision, with the Lodgers’ using the new ball to dismantle the Lakers’ order as they were eventually toppled for just 28 runs after 15 overs.

Nav Gill was the pick of the Lodgers’ bowlers as he picked up four wickets, while Travis Waters, Ranjithan Thirachchelvan and Devinder Singh all chipped in with two wickets apiece.

Darby O’Brien’s 14 from 20 deliveries was the highest score for Nagambie.

The Lakers’ A-grade outfit had a bye, while its Cricket Shepparton under-14B team defeated Notre Dame-St Brendan’s on Saturday morning.

Flynn O’Brien (36 from 20) and Archy Harrison (22 from 20) were among the Lakers to retire not out in a score of 2-163.

Ryan Ezard’s 3-1 from 2.1 overs was the highlight of the Lakers’ bowling innings, which helped reduce the Tigers to 31 all-out.
