Coventry & North Warwickshire suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Solihull Blossomfield in their Warwickshire County Cricket League Premier Division clash at the Wardens.
After electing to bat first upon winning the toss, Coventry & North Warwickshire struggled to build momentum and were skittled for just 122 in their innings.
Lee Golding top-scored for the hosts with a hard-fought 26, while Bermuda international Okera Bascome was dismissed for 6 as the top order crumbled under relentless bowling pressure.
Solihull's Tom Reid proved the wrecker-in-chief, delivering a brilliant spell to finish with figures of 4-32 from his 12 overs.
In response, Solihull Blossomfield made light work of the 123-run target, reaching 127-4 to seal a dominant victory.
Lawson Attwood anchored the chase with an unbeaten 32 to guide his side over the line.
Sameer Vohra provided the main resistance with the ball for Coventry & North Warwickshire, taking 3-34 off his 12 overs—with Bascome safely holding onto a catch behind the stumps—but it wasn't enough to halt the visitors' march to victory.
