Africa-Press – Tanzania. DC Gymkhana Cup 2021 resumes today with six teams to vie for the maximum points at Dar es Salaam Gymkhana Club oval.
Lions Cricket Club will step first into the ground to face Tamil Nadu Sports Club. The teams will be playing their first game as this year’s opener. The match will also decide who deserves to take the Group D helm.

After the opening game of the day, Upanga Sports Club will be the next on arena to clash with their Group B leaders DCC. The encounter expects to be highly competitive as each team will be looking forward to win and command the group in terms of points.
