Harry Singh Shines with Maiden List A Fifty in One-Day Cup

Harry Singh's Impressive Performance

In a thrilling One-Day Cup match against Sussex at Hove, Harry Singh, the son of former Indian fast bowler Rudra Pratap Singh, achieved his first List A fifty.

Lancashire batted first and established a solid start, thanks to openers Michael Jones, who scored 82 runs off 77 balls, and George Bell, who contributed 66 runs off 74 balls. However, a sudden collapse saw them go from 157 without loss to 186 for 3 in just over 29 overs.

The 21-year-old Harry stepped in at a crucial moment, showcasing his skills with poise. He ensured that the efforts of the opening batsmen were not wasted, scoring his maiden List A fifty in just 44 balls.

During his innings, Harry hit three fours and three sixes. He accelerated towards the end, adding 24 runs off 17 balls, which included two more fours and a massive six, helping Lancashire reach a total of 338 for 7.

Harry made his List A debut last year, and prior to this match, his highest score was 33 against Yorkshire just three days earlier. Now, he has set a new personal best of 74 runs off 61 balls in this format.

Interestingly, Harry's sister, Anjalie, has also played for Lancashire in T20 matches and has one List A appearance for Cumbria. In addition to his batting, Harry bowled six overs of off-spin, giving away only 18 runs.

Rudra Pratap Singh, Harry's father, was instrumental in India's victory at the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, where he was the second-highest wicket-taker with 12 wickets. He retired from international cricket in 2018 after representing India in 82 matches and taking 124 wickets.
