Randwick Petersham Cricket Club have been crowned Men's Kingsgrove Sports T20 champions for a record sixth time after securing a come-from-behind win over Bankstown during Sunday's final at Coogee Oval.
Randwick Petersham crowned Men's Kingsgrove Sports T20 champions for a sixth time
Chasing an awkward 146-run target for victory, Randwick were seemingly in trouble at 6-68 in the 12th over before Angus McTaggart and Ashley Burton combined for an unbeaten 78-run partnership for the seventh wicket, guiding the team to victory with five balls to spare.
McTaggart, later named player of the match following the four-wicket win, top-scored for Randwick with 45 not out from 25 balls, including three sixes, while Burton finished unbeaten on 32.
Earlier, Bankstown posted 8-145 from their 20 overs, with Ryan Freeman anchoring the innings with an unbeaten 37. Daya Singh was the pick of the Randwick bowlers with team-best figures of 3-32 from his four overs.
The triumph marks the sixth time that Randwick have won the Men's Kingsgrove Sports T20 since the competition's inception in 2008/09.
