On a beautiful sunny day at De Diepput in Den Haag, ACC won the toss and opted to field first against the home team HCC. Despite the early advantage of fielding, ACC struggled to contain
the HCC batsmen.

HCC's innings was anchored by Shirshak Banerjee, who laboured to a patient 48 off 110 balls, providing a solid foundation. Captain Boris Gorlee contributed a fluent 40 off 65 deliveries, and
Jed Wiggins added a brisk 42 from 50 balls, further consolidating HCC's position.

The hosts' innings was propelled to a competitive total by a late surge from Daniel Crowley and Yash Patel. Crowley ended up unbeaten on 37, while Patel's aggressive knock of 55 off just 31
deliveries ensured HCC finished with a formidable 248/6.

In response, ACC's batting lineup faltered under the pressure of HCC's bowling attack (thanks to the ball sponsored by Bart Klaus.) They were skittled for a mere 101 all out. Daniel Crowley and Jed Wiggins both claimed 3 wickets
each, while Adam Leonard chipped in with 2 wickets, sealing a comprehensive victory for HCC.

This convincing performance by HCC highlights the ongoing struggles of ACC this season, as they failed to offer any substantial resistance.
