The 2023 Lord's match will go down as one of the most exciting duels between Eton and Harrow in the 218-year history. Eton won the toss and elected to field first, and despite constant rain interruptions and the deployment of the Duckworth-Lewis calculations, Harrow won a remarkable match by 4 runs.
