Heading into the game, Bicester headed Wolverton, but the home side made a remarkable start, removing five wickets without conceding a run.

With the visitors on 12, Staff Sansome was run out to start the catastrophe. Butt then took out Haris Naseem, Matthew Chilton and Daniel Murphy in consecutive balls, before opener Adam Stapleford-Jones fell to Haroon Malik as they went from 12-0 to 12-5.

With the visitors toiling, Malik went on to take another four wickets to end with 5-35 - the visitors unable to breach triple figures before returning to the pavilion.

Despite Butt’s hat-trick, Malik was awarded the man of the match crown.
