Hampshire Seniors remain rooted to the foot of the National Sixties Championship south-east group after suffering a seven-wicket defeat by Middlesex at Southgate - their fourth loss in six completed matches, only one of which they have won and another tied.
Wickets tumbled all too regularly as Hampshire managed to make only 141-9 in 40 overs, Gosport Borough's John Adams (33) top scoring.
Middlesex opener Darren Mathura quickly blasted Paul Garlick out of the attack, taking 32 runs off the Bournemouth seamer's opening two overs and went on to score 91 not out.
Former Hampshire left-arm spinner Raj Maru, meanwhile, conceded only 14 runs off hi eight overs and took one of the three wickets to fall.
Hampshire's ECB 50-plus County Championship match against the Isle of Wight, scheduled to be played at Bashley (Rydal) on Wednesday has been cancelled as the island cannot raise a side.
