Greetings! Cricket Lovers The weather had a major impact on the weekend's fixtures. Most of the games were called off early Sunday morning. There were a number of games which got started; however none were completed due to rain.

Lankians were on the verge of taking revenge upon Embassy when the weather took over to play a major role. Ali Haider (75) provided the foundation for Embassy's 156 in 28.4 overs. Lankians fit again skipper Raslin Sirajudeen 5-20 and Arshad Younus 4-19 took the bowling honors. When Lankians batted, Suranga Daluwatte (52) set them up for a victory; however a 5 wicket haul including a hat-trick from Azhar Hussain (5-35) checked their progress. Lankians finished on 124-7 in 25.4 overs with Raslin Sirajudeen stranded on 28no when the game was abandoned.

Indiana are champions of division 2 following their first season in this section. In the 2nd XI competition, Neasden II are crowned champions having created a 30 point gap between themselves and DIU of Southall as they go into their final match.

There are a number of key issues in the top three divisions that are still to be decided as we go into last weekend of matches; 10 of the 11 games is likely to have an impact of the final league positions.
