Somerset Cricket Club 291 & 209/7 St George's Cricket Club 243/9 Declared
The Annual Cup Match Classic has concluded in a draw, with rain playing a significant role on Day Two, leading to a delayed start and ultimately preventing a result at Wellington Oval.
With the first day evenly poised, St. George's resumed their first innings on 176 for 5, hoping to build on the momentum created by Delray Rawlins.
Rawlins, who had started the day on 76 not out, continued his impressive innings, but fell just short of a historic milestone. He was bowled for a magnificent 98 from 98 balls, an innings that included 8 fours and 7 sixes. He was just two runs shy of joining the centuries club in the Annual Classic. St. George's eventually declared their innings on 243 for 9, adding 67 runs to their overnight total.
Kamau Leverock was the standout bowler for Somerset, finishing with impressive figures of 4 wickets for 59 runs from his 12 overs, a performance that kept his team in a strong position.
In their second innings, Somerset came out with a clear intent to score quickly. Despite a late start to the day, they managed to put on a solid total of 209 for 7. Captain Terryn Fray was the anchor of the innings, scoring his second half-century of the match. He made a composed 57 off 97 balls, hitting 7 fours and 1 six, building on his first-day score of 60.
Rawlins, not just a threat with the bat, was the pick of the St. George's bowlers. He returned figures of 2 wickets for 24 runs from his 7 overs, proving his all-round value to his team.
Ultimately, the Cup Match Classic was declared a draw.
