Nawaz and Beales hit form to guide Milford to victory
Skipper Stuart Phazey saluted ‘special’ Ejaz Nawaz after he helped Milford Hall make a winning start to the South Staffordshire County League season.
Nawaz blasted through Beacon’s middle-order with the ball, finishing with figures of 6-22 as Milford secured a 70-run win in a meeting of last year’s top two.
But he also made a key contribution with the bat, as part of a lower order rearguard which helped his team, batting first, recover from 97-7 to post a total of 191-9.
Nawaz was among those who provided support to Sam Beales, who scored an unbeaten 106 on his debut for the club.
Phazey said: “They were two excellent performances from Sam and Ejaz.
