Old Finchleians 177 Welwyn GC II 177
Saracens Herts League Division Three
A game of fluctuating fortunes ended dramatically in a tie.
After OFs lost an early wicket, Nick Pope (49) and Chetan Depala (39) shared a partnership of 78.
Isaq Fatani (26) and Sahie Peiris (25 not out) provided a further boost and OFs were all out for 177.
With Welwyn 122-8, OFs looked likely winners. But Nick Pope (4-98), who bowled unchanged for 24 overs, began to tire, and although he got ample support from Paresh Somani (4-48), the home side edged nearer to their target.
The last pair added 36, but with the scores level, Peiris produced a smart piece of fielding and a run-out, and the match was tied.
