Kidlington suffered their fifth straight defeat as they went down by seven wickets at Buckingham in Home Counties Premier League Division 2 West.

Having won the toss, Kidlington crashed to 35-5 inside the first 14 overs before an unbeaten 72 from Shahbaz Ali and a whirlwind 55 from Faisal Chaudhry, including four sixes, helped the visitors set 239.

Kidlington needed a big effort from their bowlers, but came up well short as the Buckingham top order charged to victory with 4.5 overs left thanks mainly to Dewayne Bowden's undefeated 87.
