After two weeks of rain, there was some action finally in the Dr HD Kanga Cricket League on Thursday. Though there was no play possible at most venues across the city due to wet conditions, there were some exceptions.


Only one match from the first four divisions, a Division D encounter between Amar Cricket Club and Matunga Gymkhana, produced a result. Matunga Gym 81-7 declared lost to Amar CC 115-2 on first innings.

Put into bat, Dadar Union scored 58-2 in 13.2 overs. The innings was interrupted by rain thrice.

In Division A, Sachin Wagh of PJ Hindu Gymkhana top-scored with 39 runs as his team posted 105-5 declared against Karnatak Sporting Association. In another match, former Mumbai left-arm spinner Vishal Dabholkar, representing Payyade Sports Club, was the top performer with the ball, claiming 3-5 against Sind Sporting Club (19-5).
