Pingers undefeated

Epping made light work of Bundoora United to make it two from two in the Diamond Valley Cricket Association Barclay Shield summer smash.

After winning the toss, the Bulldogs decided to bat first on Tuesday night.

They put on 19 for the first wicket, but that’s when it started to go wrong.

The wickets started to fall and the Bulldogs were bowled out for just 63 with five balls remaining.

Thilina Herath top scored with 16 at the top of the order as just two batters reached double figures.

Ethan Kunelius, Nathan Sharma and Jaedyn Kennedy took two wickets each for the Pingers.

The Pingers needed just 13 overs to get the job done, making 3-66.

David Graham scored 28.

The Bulldogs are without a win after two matches.

Meanwhile, Bundoora also struggled with the bat in its loss to Rosebank.

After being sent in, the Bulls were restricted to 8-77.

Allan Arora top scored with 17.

Rosbank made light work of the chase, finishing 1-80 in 15 overs.

The Bulls are also without a win.

In the other pool, North Eltham Wanderers and Diamond Creek got wins.

In the Money Shield, Mernda got a win against Greensborough in pool B.

After being sent in, the Demons made 4-111 from their overs.

Gareth Sharp continued his good form with 41 at the top of the order.

Greensborough never got going in its innings and finished 8-77 in reply.

In the Mash Shield, Laurimar and Rivergum were among the winners.

The Power made 124 as it was bowled out in the final over against Panton Hill.

It would be enough with Panton Hill finishing 5-115 in reply.

Rivergum got the points against South Morang.

The Kookas made 4-144 before bowling the Lions out for 89 in the final over.

Ben Lyons took 5-16 for the Kookas.

Elsewhere, Thomastown had a big loss against Keon Park.
