Damian Shirazi shone with bat and ball as Banbury cruised into the third round of the ECB National Club Championship with a six-wicket victory at Barnt Green.
Shirazi claimed fine figures of 4-39 as Banbury restricted their hosts to 211-8 from their 45 overs.
He then shared an opening partnership of 64 with Ian Tew, who carried his bat for 78 not out, Shirazi scoring 35.
After a brief wobble, which saw Banbury slip from 64-0 to 96-3, an 85-run stand between Tew and Shahbaz Ali put Banbury in command, as they eased home with more than two overs to spare.
