Exiles won by 34 runs away at Kenley on Sunday.

Batting first Exiles powered out of the blocks thanks to 34 from Asad and 48 from Shahid, with Darwin anchoring with a fine 58. Exiles batted all the way down their order and later contributions from Siyar and Andy ensured momentum was continued throughout the overs and Exiles closed on a decent 229 for 7 off their 35 overs.

Kenley’s response was very good with a partnership of 90 for the first wicket as Krithick powered his way to 76 for Kenley and seemed uncatchable. Skipper Shahid eventually found the breakthrough with a double strike and after a run out, Abdul struck with the key wicket of Krithick – well stumped by John behind the stumps.

Thereafter the game was safe for the Exiles and most of the Exiles lineup was allowed a bowl.

Ploughmans in Dulwich next week.
