Cropredy having set what would normally be a winning score failed to contain the Sandford batting,

With two overs to go Sandford required 35 runs with Chris Thompson the lone not out Sandford batter, he scored 21 off the penultimate over, leaving 14 required from the final over which he completed with two balls to spare. What an excellent game.
