Okera Bascome’s Coventry & North Warwickshire suffered a four-wicket defeat by Solihull Blossomfield in a low-scoring Warwickshire County Cricket League Premier Division encounter.
Batting first, Coventry & North Warwickshire struggled for fluency against a disciplined visiting attack and were bowled out for 152. Bermudian opener Bascome provided the backbone of the innings, top-scoring with 23, but the hosts found partnerships hard to come by. C Stejenton led the charge with the ball for Solihull Blossomfield, claiming figures of 3-19 from a tight 10-over spell that included four maidens.
Solihull Blossomfield's pursuit was not without setbacks, but steady contributions down the order saw them reach 154-6 to clinch the points. P Patchabatla anchored the reply with a crucial 33, while Bascome contributed in the field by pouching two catches. S Vohra was the standout performer with the ball for Coventry & North Warwickshire, taking 3-35 from his 10 overs, but it proved insufficient to deny the visitors a hard-fought win.
