BREDON maintained their 100 per cent record in the Worcestershire Indoor League Evesham Division.
But they only won with three balls left after replying with 106-3 to Harvington’s 105 all out.
Openers Dave Waters and Simon Rickett (12) took Harvington to 39 before the latter was run-out.
Elliott Thompson and Waters moved the score on to 61-1 after six overs. Sam Bannister (13) added runs but Harvington’s rate declined and three wickets in three overs left them marooned on 87-5 from 10.
Waters (37) returned but was well caught by Jamie Diamond off Martin Hill.
In reply, Harvington just failed to contain Bredon’s lower order.
They started off like a train with Hill (28 not out) and Clive Fenney (23) posting 60 from six overs.
Fenney was run-out but Jamie Munro (19) and Diamond (24) carried on the good work.
Waters had Munro caught and bowled in his 1-17 from three overs but Bredon took the points.
In the other game, Stanway Boxmen (95-5) lost to Feckenham (96-5) with two balls remaining.
Boxmen started in promising fashion until fine fielding from Alex Richardson forced a run-out in the second over.
After John Lawrence’s dismissal for 24, Muhammed Idress bowled Dave Bull with a swinging yorker.
Idress caught Pete Green in the fourth over off Richardson’s bowling to reduce Boxmen to 37-3.
Nick Clark followed on 49-4 but Mike Banks (29 no) and Tim Cull (22) fought a valiant rearguard before the latter was caught and bowled by Idress (2-18).
In reply, Ben Adshead (17) was stumped but Feckenham were in touch on 48-2 at halfway.
Regular run-outs followed but last-man Luke Jackson (33no) was man-of-the-match with the help of 23 wides.
