Worcestershire CCC Academy completed a hat-trick of victories at the Shrewsbury School pre-season tournament when they defeated Worksop College by six wickets.
The Academy romped home to victory with 21.4 overs to spare after bowling out Worksop for 117.
Josh Dickenson and Charlie Greening did the bulk of the damage after Matt Davis had made a double early breakthrough.
Then a third wicket partnership of 68 between Dan Holland and Josh Dell ensured victory for coach Elliot Wilson's side.
It followed on from the Academy's triumphs against Millfield School and Shrewsbury School on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
Worksop were put into bat and Davis helped to reduce them to 27-3.
There was a stand of 48 for the fourth wicket between top-scorer Parker-Cole (46 off 50 balls) and Lowe (20).
But the last seven wickets tumbled for 42 runs against the attack of Dickenson – 9-1-32-4 – and Greening – 8.3-0-31-3.
The Academy lost a couple of early wickets but Holland (30 off 63 balls with three fours) and Malik (38 not out off 60 deliveries with five boundaries) steered them to the brink of victory.
They were aided by a total of 37 extras – including 34 wides.
