All six Crawley Eagles sides soar to victory

Bowler Imran Mehboob returned from injury to take four wickets in Eagles’ 50-run win at Eastbourne CC 2nd XI in Division 3 East.

Eagles won the toss and elected to bat. A quickfire 50 from all-rounder Atif Ali helped Eagles to 226-8 off 45 overs,

Eagles needed to bowl well on a good batting track and Mehboob, with his skilful swing bowling, managed to take the scalps of Eastbourne’s top four.

Eagles bowled out the hosts for 176 in 33 overs, and Mehboob finished with 4-30 off his nine overs in a match-winning display.

Captain Anjum Zafar said: “It was great to have Imran back from injury. He bowled very well to help set up this win.”
