Bankstown won by 1 wicket in the 2nd last over at Waverley oval.
Bowling first, Bankstown restricted Eastern Suburbs to 169 with, Reagan Sidhu (4/50), Artav Ramankanth (2/41) and Callum McCall (3/19) starring with with the ball.

In response, Bankstown fell to 6/91 in reply after a controversial dismissal of our Captain Max Condon (21), which triggered a mini batting collapse. Matt Fitzgerald (34) and Aryan Rodrigues (24) steadied the ship and played crucial knocks, helping to get Bankstown to within 11 runs from victory when Matts wicket fell. A last wicket partnership of 11 got Bankstown home with Callum McCall smashing 2 boundaries, icing the game with 6 balls to spare.

Reagan Sidhu was awarded Player of the Match
