I watch this game of this tournament and north group match between Durham and Birmingham Bears was took place at Riverside Ground. Birmingham Bears won the toss and selected to bowling first. Durham won this game by 8 runs. Birmingham Bears is good team but their effort is low than Kuwait team . Birmingham Bears played bad in previous matches. Durham set a record total runs for 182 and won the match. Birmingham Bears chased a record total runs for 174 and lost the match. Their team still needs a lot of hard work to play a good match.The best batting performance in the Durham team was by Will Rhodes and scored 51 runs and 36 balls and hitted seven 4s and one 6s. Congratulations to Durham for their upcoming matches. I was very disappointed for Birmingham Bears team member.
