BASINGSTOKE and North Hants have scrambled rather unimpressively into their fifth successive NatWest Under-16 Indoor Cricket League Championship play-offs.
They knocked Parley’s A side out of the running with a two-wicket win off the penultimate ball at the Ageas Bowl, where left-hander Matt Deadman was the hero.
Basingstoke then lost to Bourne-mouth by two wickets, but they were already assured of a top-four finish.
