Oxford University wicket-keeper Sam Westaway claimed seven victims and scored a half-century to help the Dark Blues to a 43-run victory over Cambridge in the One-Day Varsity Match at Lord’s on Saturday.
The 22-year-old was top scorer with 53 as Oxford recovered from 82-5 to reach 202-8 from their 50 overs, sharing a seventh-wicket stand of 79 with Sam Cato, who made 32.
Westaway then took six catches and a stumping in Cambridge’s reply of 159.
Three of his victims came off the bowling of Owain Jones, who claimed 4-27 off 6.2 overs.
The Dark Blues will be hoping to carry on their good form in the four-day Varsity match which starts at Cambridge’s Fenner’s ground tomorrow.
