A second wicket stand of 99 by Harry Mills and Nik Patel was the cornerstone of this defeat of Littleport by 40 runs. Following the early departure of Ollie Vale, Mills and Patel forged a terrific partnership of high quality batting. Quick singles became difficult for Patel following a hit on the inner thigh, and requested a runner to continue his innings. The runner proved no obstacle, as Cambourne charged to a total of 124 in their alloted overs. Mills and Patel were finally out at the late stage of the innings for 39 and 68 repectively.

This was a large boundary, and for Littleport to stand any chance of competing, they needed to test the resilaince of the Cambourne fielding. It was not too long before two wickets tumbled, but Littleports 3rd, 4th and 5th batsmen took on the challenge. The Cambourne fielding was second to none as several players took blows on the body to limit the runs. The fielding continued to peg Littleport back and wickets continued to fall. Littleport were finally too many runs short finishing their innings at 84 for 8.
