Thriplow opening batsmen Smith and Russell got their team off to a great start.
Russell, in particular, was in devastating form, and hit five sixes and nine fours on his way to 94.
Smith was also going well before he played on for 35, and Thriplow were 142-2 off 21 overs when heavy rain forced the players off the field.
Although the rain abated later on, persistent drizzle and bad light meant the match was abandoned as a draw.
