Parfitt XI, 119 for five, beat Symonds XI, 118 for eight, by one run.Symonds XI lost three wickets in a dramatic final over as Parfitt XI opened their Elite Player League campaign with a thrilling one run win yesterday.Chasing 120 to win a game reduced to 15 overs a side by rain, Symonds needed just six runs from the final over to win. And even though Brian Hall (23) was run out with four balls left, Dennis Musson got four from the next two balls to seemingly win the game for his side.However, Musson was himself run out by bowler Deunte Darrell off the penultimate ball of the innings, and Jordan Desilva went the same way trying to tie the scores on the final delivery.That left Symonds agonisingly short, and handed Parfitt a victory that had looked well beyond them just four overs earlier.Then, it was the batting side that were in the ascendency, with opener Dion Stovell carving the Parfitt bowlers to all parts of the ground as his team reached 85 for three from little more than ten overs.And even after the loss of Stovell, for a swashbuckling 65, Hall took over where his team-mate had left off, cutting, chipping, and driving his side closer to their target.The 119 that Parfitt posted was largely down to the inventive batting of opener Oronde Bascome, who hit an unbeaten 63 to anchor his team's innings. Bascome and Darrell (24) put on 55 for the fourth wicket, rescuing their side from the precarious position of 57 for three in the process.Desilva took two wickets as Parfitt were largely kept underwraps, while Lateef Trott bowled far better than his one wicket for 22 runs from three overs suggests.In reply, Stovell set about the Parfitt bowlers with relish, and after ten overs had scored 63 of his side's 83 runs. Then Marshall struck and the balance of power shifted.Still Symonds might have won, but Darrell had other ideas, and although he finished wicketless, he had a hand in all the run outs, and his final over was too good for his opponents.Hunt's XI, 152 for six, beat Simmons XI, 104 all out, by 48 runs.In the first of yesterday's two matches at the National Sports Centre, Hunt's XI comfortably beat a Simmons XI that never really looked like winning.Having posted a respectable 152 for six from their 20 overs, in which skipper Stephen Outerbridge top-scored with 36 and Simmons sent down 19 wides, they then reduced their opponents to 23 for five and never looked back.Bailey's Bay duo Burton Outerbridge (two for 29) and Kyle Hodsoll (four for 14) did most of the damage, although they were helped by some sloppy batting, and two poor umpiring decisions that brought the Simmons innings grinding to a halt before it had even got started.The one that really hurt Simmons was the lbw decision that saw OJ Pitcher dismissed first ball by Burton Outerbridge, and leave Simmons realing at five for two.Ricky Hoyte became Hodsoll's third victim in similar fashion soon after, in an over that saw Bay lose three wickets and slump to 25 for six.There was no way back after that for Simmons, and although Justin Pitcher (27) and Mackih McGowan (25) put up some stiff resistence the outcome was never really in doubt. McGowan was eventually last man out, stumped by Regino Smith off the bowling of Fiqre Crockwell, with just two balls of the innings remaining.
