England Over 40s Cricket have beaten Veterans Cricket India in the second match of their double-header, winning by 45 runs in a hard-fought encounter.![]()
![]()
Fielding quite a different team from the previous day, England batted first and chalked up an imposing 287/9. The innings was anchored by Neil Longhurst, who scored a fluent 99 on debut. Another debutant, Jackson Thompson, scored 56. Vijay Mangharani was impressive in taking 4/46.![]()
![]()
India then slumped to 47/4, but Mangharani fought hard for 44 and then Sunny Bhatnagar hit a defiant 63 not out to give India some hope. The last pair had some fun, with Nasir Khan walloping 3 big sixes, but it was ultimately a fairly comfortable win for England. ![]()

Steve Matthew has played one of the most decisive innings in international over-50s cricket history to lead Scotland Seniors Cricket to a major upset over Veterans Cricket India and its first victory at IMC level in any age group.![]()
![]()
When Matthew came in to bat at number 7, his side was 81/5 chasing 273. An hour and a half later, he had smashed 137, including 10 sixes and 13 fours (82% of his runs came in boundaries) and taken his team to within 10 runs of victory. His innings was the equal-fifth-highest O50I score of all time, just 14 runs shy of Australia's Peter Solway's 151* back in 2018. ![]()
![]()
It was the first century in Scotland's nascent IMC history, in any age group, and I think that Matthew's 10 sixes is a record for a single O50I innings, given that only a handful of players have hit more than 10 sixes in their entirWales Over 50s Cricketr-50s careers. Wales' Ali Bukhari hit 7 in his 49-ball 107 at the World Cup last year, which I believe was the previous record.![]()
![]()
Matthew fell with 10 runs still needed and the last pair inched their way to victory with an over to spare. Krishnan Subramaniam was again the best Indian bowler, taking 3/58.![]()
![]()
Earlier, India had made a solid start in their innings, cruising to 100/0 after 21 overs (Madhusunan Malik 75, Irfan Nevsarka 33), and at 184/2 with the experienced Iqbal Khan reaching 50, another 300+ total looked possible. With some big hitting from Gunjan Patel (29*), the Indians managed what looked like a winning total.![]()
