CRICKET
Vs Zimbabwe +40s
The Zimbabwe Masters over 40s delivered a dominant performance against Peterhouse Boys, securing a comprehensive 156-run victory. Batting first, the Zimbabwe +40s amassed an imposing 326/5 in their allotted 45 overs. Despite Ryan Moyo’s efforts with the ball, their batting line-up proved too strong for the schoolboys, claiming 3 wickets for 57 runs.
In response, Peterhouse struggled to keep up with the steep target, eventually being dismissed for 170. Cameron Rae top-scored with 46, but the experienced Zimbabwe Masters bowling attack ensured no comeback. Peterhouse lost by 156 runs.
