Sadiq Momand gave the 5s a flying start with a rapid 59 off 40 balls including 6 sixes. Amandeep Singh held the innings together with a patient 24 off 75 balls as wickets fell around him.
With the ball, Fionn Bannister and Valiraja Muthukrishnan – returning from injury – picked up a wicket each. Despite a tough season, the 5s fought hard to the end. They’ll come back stronger in 2026 💙
