P & S PULL OFF MAJOR ELECTRIC CUP SHOCK AS DYER SMASHES CENTURY

Rowan Dyer smashed an unbeaten 34-ball century as Portsmouth & Southsea sprang a massive Southern Electric Twenty20 Cup second round shock, beating Totton & Eling by nine wickets in front of a shell-shocked Southern Gardens crowd.
Dyer cracked nine sixes and ten fours in a blistering 106 not out which, with Dave Upton (58) alongside in a 165-run opening stand, swept P & S past Totton’s 175-6 (James Manning 58).
Portsmouth & Southsea’s win, in their first season in the competition, was even more remarkable in as much that they fielded six teenagers in their side.
