Cleveland County Win by 61 Runs
Cleveland County 140 Bailey’s Bay 79
Cleveland County defeated cup holders Bailey's Bay by 61 runs in a dramatic and incident-filled clash to claim the Eastern County Cup in the second round at Lord's. The victory means Cleveland will now defend the trophy in the final round against St. David's Cricket Club.
After winning the toss and electing to field, Bailey's Bay's bowlers were effective in restricting the challengers. Cleveland County were bowled out for 140, with opener Treadwell Gibbons top-scoring with 31. The pick of the Bailey's Bay bowlers was Derrick Brangman, who finished with superb figures of four wickets for just 33 runs.
In reply, Bailey's Bay's chase got off to a difficult start. They struggled to build momentum and were eventually bowled out for a meagre 79, falling well short of their target. Tre Manders, who had taken a stunning catch in the field, was the top scorer with 36. Shakai Darrell was the star for Cleveland County, claiming four wickets for 23 runs to lead his team to victory.
The match was not without controversy. There was a significant hold-up after a catch given out against Delray Rawlins was disputed by the batsman. From the umpire’s view, a clean catch was taken, and after a lengthy delay, order was restored, allowing Cleveland to seal their well-deserved victory.

Bermuda Win by 78 Runs
Bermuda 144/8 Argentina 66
Bermuda's Under-19 cricket team has ended its ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Americas World Cup Qualifier campaign on a high note, securing a decisive victory over Argentina thanks to a superb batting performance and a hat-trick from bowler Luke Horan.
In a rain-affected match reduced to 31 overs, Bermuda was sent to bat after losing the toss.

Valentin Bur was the pick of the Argentine bowlers, with two wickets for 20 runs.
In reply, Argentina's innings was dismantled by a fired-up Bermudian bowling attack. They were bowled out for just 66 runs. Argentina's top scorer was Vicente Romanin with 35, but the day belonged to Luke Horan. The Bermudian bowler delivered an exceptional performance, claiming four wickets for just 14 runs, a spell that included a magnificent hat-trick.
