Teenage Cricketer Hrishi Sharma Leads Bedford CC to Dominant Victory

15-year-old Hrishi Sharma delivered a standout performance for Bedford Cricket Club's Sunday 1st XI, scoring 110 runs off 113 balls. His century anchored Bedford's total of 274 for 7 in their 40 overs against Luton Town & Indians 2nd XI in the Bedfordshire County Cricket League Division One opener. Captain Rohit Mehmi contributed 61 runs, while Jonathan Huggins added 43.

In response, Luton Town & Indians struggled, reaching only 133 all out. Shiv Odedra initiated the collapse with figures of 3 for 46, and Jonny Dove sealed the victory with 3 for 9. Bedford secured a commanding 141-run win, marking a strong start in their pursuit of promotion to the Premier Division.

Elsewhere, Queens Park Westfield and Biddenham suffered heavy defeats in the Premier Division, while Elstow secured a seven-wicket victory over Queens Park's 2nd XI.

In Division Four, Bedford's 2nd XI edged past Old Warden by two wickets, and Kempston Hammers fell short in Division Five despite a rapid 81 from Ali Jaan.

Bedford's Saturday XI faced back-to-back losses in the Northamptonshire League but aim to rebound against Wellingborough Town 2nd XI this Saturday.
