Osama Dar smashed 47 and Duminda Abeytunga (29no) as Sri Lankan Cavaliers completed a 9 wkt victory. North London Drifters registered their first league win of the season against Rajput Samaj. NLD made 238 with Shahid Rafique (67) & Nasir Khan (48) making most of the runs and than both took 4 wickets apiece to bowl out Rajput for 187. Seetal Patel was the only Rajput player to register a useful contribution with 43no.

Kingsbury Construction bowlers came back strongly to bowl out Bharat Olympians for 126 in 37 overs, after the latter were 70 without loss from 16 overs. Wicket honors were shared by the bowlers Naresh Mepani (3-13), Nitin Sehgal (2-15) and Vinod Bhanderi (2-24). In the ensuing chase, Sunil Harji made 30 and Nitin Sehgal a quickfire 52no as Kingsbury scored 127/3 off in 19.5 overs. Muktajivan remain top of division 2 following their 4 run win over Lohana. A stand of 91 from Harshad Varsani (36) and Naresh Jesani (46) was the basis of the good Muktajivan start; however their departure saw a collapse to 145-7. A rapid 47 from Mahendra Kokhari allowed Muktajivan to finish on 215-9 in 40 overs. Useful contributions from Vishal Ladhani 47, Rishi Savani 40 and Digant Popat 30 were insufficient as Lohana fell 4 short of their target. Anand Bakrania (85) assisted in setting Anson a target of 256 against West Harrow. Hitesh Goswami responded with a 125no and Bhavesh Vyas 61 as Anson made 259-6 with 5 overs to spare. Welldon made 194 against Magenta Security largely due to Ramya Upadhya (61). Ritesh Solanki (65) and Mitesh Louchande (40) gave Magenta the foundation for a good response. Dipen Amin took 4-29 and Jigar Shah 3 catches as Welldon managed to hang on to claim a one run victory in a last ball finish.

Kondor maintained their winning run against EKTA with a 3 wicket win with Tirath Shukla (49) and Dipak Singh (4-18) staring with bat and ball. Sebastian Anthony made 51no in Dharmaj's comfortable win over Capital, whilst Jigar Patel (snr) was the principal contributor with 57 in Youth Wing's win against Ramgharia. Centurion had no joy in chasing United Sports total of 210 where Naresh Patel made 47no and Jitu Patel took 3-43 as the former fell 69 runs short of target.

Suraj completed their first league win of the season at the expense of Sayona. Batting first, Suraj posted 183 with Amit Patel making 40, whilst Bhupendra Patel 4-24 was the pick of the Sayona bowlers. Sayona's poor batting form continued when they were dismissed for 118 with Suraj's veteran spinner Peter Patel taking 3-21. Hussain Kartriwala made 55 in Regency's 176-8 in 40 overs against Young Puthoharis; the latter managed to score 167 with Dawaz Aziz making 61. Shomit Pandit took 4-42 to ensure a 9 run win for Regency. Nishil Tanna(74), Niraj Rughani (54) and Rajiv Tanna (40) allowed Young Lions to score 244-5 against Indiana.
