Naveed Bashir then added 54 and Tim Keyte, at number 10, an unbeaten 25 despite good bowling performances from Town's Stuart Cope who took 4-52 and Connor Shingler 3-43.

Despite Zohaid Zahib hitting 33 and Cope 31, as they shared in a fourth wicket 50-run partnership, the side could not keep up with the required run rate and were bowled out in the 46th over for 197.

Keyte took 4-36 and Bashir 3-35 for the visitors after Shingler had made 24, Imam 21, Booker 18 and Steve Rhodes, as last man standing, 21 not out.
