adminAN unbeaten 39 by wicket-keeper Chris Cooke helped Glamorgan to a three-wicket victory over Northerns in a close finish to their three-day match at Old Hararians Sports Club yesterday.
Northerns, having gained a first-innings lead of 52, began the day on 18 for one wicket in their second innings – Prince Masvaure was on five and Joylord Gumbie 12.
They needed to push the score along with a view to a declaration at some time in the afternoon, but their plan never got off the ground properly.
Northerns: 266 and 105 all out in 27.3 overs (Joylord Gumbie 25, Tadiwanashe Marumani 22, Wessly Madhevere 16; Timm van der Gugten 3/8, Jamie McIlroy 2/20, James Harris 2/21)
Glamorgan: 214 and 161-7 in 45.4 overs (Eddie Byrom 42, Chris Cooke 39*, Thomas Bevan 23; Ainsley Ndlovu 3/59, Wessly Madhevere 2/29, Ernest Masuku 1/19)
Glamorgan won by three wickets – zimcricket.
