A superb 92 not out from star player Akiva Lieberman saw South Manchester beat Foresters in a rain-affected match at Styal CC.

Foresters won the toss and took the unusual step of batting first under blue skies but with heavy rain forecast. They reached 52-2 off 15 overs when the thunderstorm came and when the weather relented only had another eight overs available to bat.

During that time they added 75 to take their total to 127. Pick of the bowlers was David Cohen with 2-31.

Lieberman along with Imran Yousef added 73 for the first wicket before Imran fell for 16.

Batsmen came and went at the other end whilst Lieberman dispatched the ball to all parts to see South home.
