Newman blasts Surrey to D/L win

NatWest Pro40 D2, The Oval: Surrey 102-2 (13 ovs) bt Derbyshire 227-7 (35 ovs)

Surrey recorded their first win of the Pro40 campaign with a 24-run success against Derbyshire by the D/L method.

Phil Weston hit 72 and Greg Smith hit five fours and a six in 47 as Derby posted 227-7 after being asked to bat in a match already reduced to 35 overs.

Explosive Scott Newman smashed 30 in the first four overs of the Surrey reply with five fours and a six.

Newman hit 62 in 33 balls to ensure his side were ahead of the rate at 102-2 in 13 overs when rain ended proceedings.

James Pipe and Jake Needham steered the visitors to a respectable total.

They shared an eighth-wicket stand of 32 from just four overs with Needham smashing a huge straight six off Chris Jordan in the penultimate over.

Newman and James Benning brought up their fifty stand for the opening wicket in 5.1 overs.

Left-hander Newman was eventually out in the 10th over, giving Greg Smith a wicket in his first over by driving straight to extra-cover.

Stewart Walters was superbly caught by a diving Graham Wagg at square-leg but Newman and Benning's exploits were more than enough.
