In division 2, Kingsbury Construction emerged as winners in their top of the table clash with Anson. Anson were well poised at 135-4 but crashed out on 159 with the swing bowling of Suresh Gopal accounting for 5-41. Dharmesh Mepani (44) and Naresh Mepani (19no) were at hand to see Kingsbury home by 2 wkts. Akash Christian (72) and 4-22 from skipper Bharat Patel were the highlights in West Harrow's 4 wicket win over Lohana. Welldon's Ramya Upadhya continued his good form with 69 in Welldon's total of 242 against Bharat Olympians. Veteran spinner Dipen Shah made his most notable contribution of the season and the best bowling figures for the weekend's league fixtures with 7-34 as Bharat Olympians could only manage 198. Nishant Makwana made a defiant 71 for Bharat Olympians. Three wickets a piece from Shaikh Iqbal 3-25, Sivender Dhillon 3-26 and Vimal Narendra 3-27 of Magenta Security were enough to restrict Muktajivan to 153. Vimal Narendra (56) lead Magenta on their way to 155-6 to secure a rare win for this season.

Kondor maintained their pole position in division 3 with a comfortable win over second placed Dharmaj. Harshad Patel (5-19) was instrumental in restricting Dharmaj to 133, which Kondor passed with 5 overs to spare lead by 51no from skipper Rishi Kotecha. EKTA were struggling at 52-5 against Youth Wing, however a 74 run partnership between Zakir Hussain (55) and Jatin Patel (22) gave them a defendable total of 158. Youth Wing never quite got to grips with the EKTA bowling and were bowled out for 136. Viveck Khurana made 53 in Capital's total of 151 against United Sports for whom Imran Ismail took 4-27.

On a very poor wicket, Young Lions made 162-9 in 40 overs against Regency. Young Lions batted first and got off to a good start as Rajiv Tanna made 46. The departure of Rajiv Tanna, sparked a collapse as 5 wickets fell for under 35 runs. Anup Rughani batting at number 9 made 32not out from only 21 deliveries as Lions finished on 162-9. Regency chasing 163to win lost wickets early as the new ball partnership of Niraj Rughani and Kunal Vasa picked up 5 wickets.
