15th win of the season…

Exiles picked up a 15th win out of 17 games for the 2026 season with a 21 run win against Millfields at Hilly Fields on Sunday.

Exiles batted first and found it tough going, with an early brisk 24 from Nadeem, Hasan the mainstay with 40, with further support from Darwin, KK and Rayan. 158 all out with 2 overs unused left the match in the balance.

But the Exiles bowling has been very consistent this season and wickets were once again shared as Millfields were restricted to 137 all out, with 2 wickets for Nadeem, Abdul and Zia.

Nadeem again the star of the show with a 7th Exiles man-of-the-match award of the season.

Unless any further matches are arranged, this concludes a very successful 2026 for the club.

Hasan steadies the ship…

A fine 50 from Hasan lead Exiles to a 5 wicket win against Merton CC Sunday Boars at Joseph Hood Rec.

Exiles looked well on top in the first innings thanks to another excellent all round team bowling performance as Merton were bowled out for 96 with Shahid taking 2 for 28 and skipper KK following up his hundred last week with an innings closing hat-trick this week to finish with 3 for 13.

Exiles had a big wobble in response and were reduced to 36 for 4 before an innings steadying fifty from Hasan, supported by KK took Exiles all but home.

Another good win for the club. Millfields at Hilly Fields next Sunday.

Centurion KK leads from the front…

A superb first Exiles hundred from skipper KK led Exiles to a fine 21 run at Ewell on Sunday.

Exiles batted first with KK opening and scoring steadily at one end. Hasan chipped in with 39 and Shahid 25 as Exiles closed on 226 for 8 from their 40 overs.

Ewell got close in the chase but were ultimately restricted to 205 for 9 from their 40 thanks to another fine, consistent performance from Exiles bowlers, with 2 wickets each for Nadeem, KK, Hasan and Ahmad – KK continuing his fine all round performance with the most economical figures.

This was an excellent 21 run win. Gladiators at Joseph Hood Rec next week.

Nadeem leads Exiles to 12th win of the season..

A superb 5 for 6 from Nadeem lead Exiles fine 8 wicket win against Streatham & Marlborough on Sunday.

Streatham batted first and reached 36 without loss before the carnage started, and at 71 for 8 the innings looked set to end quickly only for some good lower order resistance taking the home side to 117 all out.

Exiles cruised to 90 for the first wicket in reply, led by skipper KK with 32, but it was an unbeaten 52 from Ahmad that took the Exiles home with over 20 overs left.

Ewell away next week.
