Bracknell chose to bat and built their total around three substantial scores: Amol Tyagi made 60, Shail Ram 64 and Manpreet Singh 49. The 2nd XI kept finding wickets, though, with Chris Emes the clear Binfield headline.

Emes finished with 5-68 from nine overs, including the wickets of Tyagi and Ram, while Tom Nower's 2-35 helped stop Bracknell from stretching the target even further. Grant Celliers and Wynand Lamprecht also kept things tidy through the middle overs.

The chase was checked too often to gather real pace. Priyen Prakash made 22 at the top, but the innings was 67-5 by the time Lamprecht took full control. His unbeaten 48 from 39 balls gave Binfield a strong finish, even as Bracknell closed the game out.
