An amazing 113 not out off 94 balls from Zia – with 8 sixes – lead Exiles to an emphatic 199 run win over Wimbledon United at Cottenham Park on Sunday.

Batting first in sunny conditions, Exiles were stumbling somewhat at 136 for 5 before Siyar joined Zia for a stunning partnership of 149 – which is an Exiles club record for the sixth wicket – with Siyar adding 4 maximums of his own. Exiles closed on 285 for 5 – which is the clubs second highest ever score.

Once again Exiles pacy openers of Nadeem and Ishaq set the tone for an ultimately comfortable win, with all 6 Exiles bowlers used picking up at least one wicket as Wimbledon were dismissed for 86.

Exiles play The Blues at Dundonald Rec next Sunday.

Exiles picked up a first win of the 2025 season courtesy of a comfortable 95 runs victory over the S&K Sunday Development side.

Batting first, Exiles piled up 240 for 9 off their 35 with debutant Asad smashing a rapid 53 at the top and contributions also from Abdul, KK, Zia and Jamil – with 6 of the top 7 hitting at least one maximum.

After a pacy start from Exiles openers, the match was never in doubt with Ishaq taking 3 for 20 and the other debutant Abdullah taking a fine 4 for 14.
