Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Stray Lions ‘A’ consolidated their position at the summit of the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) Twenty20 League with a seven-wicket win over Obuya Cricket Academy A at Nairobi Jaffery\u2019s.<\/p>\n

After getting a bye in Saturday\u2019s schedule, the Lions maintained their unbeaten run to stay atop with 24 points from six matches.<\/p>\n

The win guarantees Stray Lions a place in the top four, while the other three positions will have to be determined by next weekend’s matches.<\/p>\n

Kanbis, Swami and Cutchi Leva are all but guaranteed slots in the top four with the top two to be decided next weekend. Ruaraka still have a mathematical chance to qualify depending on the other results.<\/p>\n

This weekend\u2019s matches saw some big guns fall as the knockout stage beckons for the last four.<\/p>\n

The biggest upset of the weekend nevertheless saw Shree Cutch Leva Patel Samaj (SCLPS YL A) defeat Ruaraka ‘A’ by four wickets in the latter\u2019s backyard.<\/p>\n

Cutchi Leva\u2019s big win against the Thika Road troops means the Nairobi West-based team moves from joint second with 20 points from six outings.<\/p>\n

It was a bitter pill to swallow for 50 overs league champions Ruaraka ‘A’ who had suffered a 17- run loss to Kanbis ‘A’ on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Defending champions Swamibapa ‘A’ bamboozled arch-rivals Kanbis A in Sunday\u2019s fixture at Jaffery\u2019s handing the Eastleigh side a 57-run blow.<\/p>\n

Swamis\u2019 skipper Rushab Patel was the match\u2019s standout player with a massive contribution of 92 runs to his name before being caught out by Jignesh Kerai.<\/p>\n

Kanbis A found the going tough when their dangerman and Captain Dhiren Gondaria was sent back to the pavilion with a run to his name.<\/p>\n

His dismissal appeared to hand the Swamis leeway as the middle order of Sachin Bhudiya (13), Nelson Mandela Odhiambo (22) and Vinod Rabadia (8) could only manage a total of 43.<\/p>\n

Kanbis have played the T20 League minus Rakep Patel who has been sidelined by an ankle injury.<\/p>\n

Swamibapa’s James Ngoche made a key contribution to his team when he collected five -wickets much to his credit.<\/p>\n

The last games will decide who qualifies for the last four of the NPCA T20 competition apart from leaders Stray Lions who have qualified. Swamibapa will play Stray Lions, whilst Kanbis take on SCLPS. Ruaraka face the Sikh Union.<\/p>\n
