Exiles belied their recent form to provide an excellent performance in emphatically beating Ploughmans by 7 wickets in Dulwich.

Having lost the toss, the Exiles initially restricted the Ploughmans batters extremely well on a wet but drying track, as the home side crawled to 35 for 1 off 20 at drinks, Ashik having taken the key wicket of Lonnen early on.

When the shots came afterwards, Faisal Musakhel (5 for 15) was the chief beneficiary with accurate bowling to go through the home side, supported by playing-in-jeans Hussain Quereshi (3 for 5).

If chasing a low total was to provide any nerves for the Exiles, Quereshi quickly ensured 17 for 6 was not realised again, smashing 4 sixes on his way to 49 not out as the Exiles cantered home in just 12 overs.

A really good morale-boosting win for the side, onto Unabombers at Abbey Rec next week.
