Kiwis Beat Nine Wicket Win Over Lancs

Liverpool, August 23. Set to score 153 runs in 75 minutes here today to beat Lancashire, the New Zealand cricketers accomplished the feat with seven minutes to spare and won by nine wickets.

The declaration by the Lancashire captain produced a memorable finish to a game which had seemed doomed to a stalemate, for Sutcliffe and Donnelly hit 120 runs in 53 minutes before the first wicket fell.
