Greenvale Kangaroos fall short

Greenvale Kangaroos finished its Victorian Premier Cricket T20 campaign with two losses.

Having split their T20 matches the previous weekend, the Kangaroos were keen to add to their winning tally.

But on Saturday, they fell short against Melbourne University.

University made 5-142 after being sent in. James Rosewarne took two wickets for the Kangaroos.

After a poor start with the bat the Kangaroos middle order regrouped, but it wasn’t enough as they finished 9-116.

Jack Rhodes top-scored with 31.

On Sunday, the Kangaroos faced Kingston Hawthorn. It was another poor start with the bat, and the Kangaroos found themselves in trouble at 3-20. The going was slow as the Kangaroos pushed the total to 6-89.

Opener Rosewarne top-scored with 30.

A score under 100 was always going to be tough to defend and Kingston-Hawthorn had no issues, finishing 6-92 with 10 balls remaining.

Mahesh Kodamullage and skipper Kyle Adams took two wickets each for the Kangaroos. The loss means the Kangaroos finished 1-3 in the T20s. Overall, they sit 16th with two wins for the season.

The Kangaroos will turn their attention to the two-day games for the first time on Saturday when they face Melbourne.

Meanwhile, the Kangaroos Victorian Turf Cricket Association side remains without a win. The Kangaroos made 225 against Doutta Stars, with acting skipper Anthony Barton making 106 not out.

The chase was no match for the Stars, who finished 5-291.
