Andover are all but mathematically relegated from the British Gas Southern Premier Division after a seven-wicket defeat by Havant at London Road effectively left them 40 points adrift at the bottom, with four games to go.
A match reduced to 30 overs per side saw Andover recover from two Richard Jerry new ball strikes (12-2) to post 162-6, with Sri Lankan Chamika Kanunaratne smacking four sixes in his 69 and share a useful partnership with Matt Knight (28).
Left-arm spinner Steve Matthews took 3-44 for Havant, who promptly lost opener Pete Hopson.
But Stu Ransley (64) and Chris Stone (51) pointed Havant to a seven-wicket win they achieved with two overs to spare.
Havant lie fourth in the log, 16 points behind leaders Lymington.
