After winning the toss, Norlington elected to bat first. However, the innings got off to a shaky start as they suffered an early collapse, losing key wickets in the opening overs.

Alongside him, Tarik played a vital supporting role, showing patience at the crease while consistently rotating the strike and building momentum through smart running between the wickets.

In response, George Mitchell School faced a disciplined Norlington bowling attack. The bowlers maintained tight lines and lengths throughout, supported by sharp fielding that kept the pressure firmly on the opposition.
The standout moment of the innings came from Azaan Hasan, who delivered a sensational spell, including a double-wicket maiden—removing two batters without conceding a run and completely swinging the momentum in Norlington’s favour.
Thanks to their collective effort in the field and with the ball, Norlington successfully restricted George Mitchell to 122/8, sealing a convincing victory.
