Oxfordshire needed just 20.2 overs to reach the target as Gus Miller top-scored with 24, including five boundaries.

OXFORDSHIRE’S Best of Districts Under 11 team posted an eight-wicket victory on the Duckworth-Lewis Method against Herefordshire Development XI at Chadlington.

On a day interrupted by heavy showers, Oxfordshire were set a revised target of 71 from 20 overs after the visitors had posted 81-6 from 26.5 overs.

Sam Collins shone for Oxon with 3-17.

Freddie Williams (24no) led Oxon’s reply as they reached the new target with more than four overs to spare.
