New opening paid of Ramesh Magan and Nirmal Ramgi begin well as they scored 20 runs in first 2 overs but in 4th over Nirmal stayed far too back in his crease as umpire gave him LBW. New played Dilesh Narotam play one superb straight shot for 6 before he was given out caught behind without ball touching his bat. One more wicket followed before a superb 60 runs partnership between Ramesh and Jigar Vassantlal took the score to 103/3 in 29 overs.

In reply Friends United pace battery bowled superbly and didn’t gave any freebies as pressure started mounting up on Lankians batsman. Nikhil Mulgi removed their opener in his second over and from other end new player Nilesh Lacmane removed their other batsman. Then Imran Mohammed and Ramesh Magan from both end took charge as they both claimed 3 wicket a piece to leave Lankians 75/8 but some relaxed fielding and sloppy bowling meant Lankians only needed further 30 runs in 7 overs but a superb catch by Imran at short mid-wicket ended their innings as Friends United registered their first win in Division 2.
