 Harsh Ramani (1-63) and Vimal Verma (1-63) went the distance for Westfield Blues Cricket Club who were limited 114-8 from their allotted overs. No one made a significant score as Chintan Patel (2-12) ended as the chief wicket-taker for the eventual winners.

 Meanwhile, action in the USA minor league cricket tournament, Amazon Warrior Hemraj swatted six sixes in an over during his 28-ball 67 to guide New Jersey Somerset Cavaliers past The Philadelphians by 18 runs. Hemraj’s man of the match knock included 10 sixes in all; he returned to take 1-17 to cap off an excellent outing.
