The Caravan will not have any rest this weekend as they will step again at Leaders Club to play a second encounter with Strikers and after the end of that game, Annadil Burhani will take over DCC at the same oval.
After the end of Group B games early on Sunday, AKSC will face Shree Kutchi Leva at Leaders for Group A showdown.
Both clubs have already played their league openers in which AKSC defeated GP by six wickets while SKLPSC lost their first game after suffering a defeat from Aces.

Aces won the toss and elected to bat first, scoring 116 for 9 in 20 overs. In return, SKLPSC were all bowled out for just 73 in 17.3 overs.
Raza Baloch led in the bowling onslaught after claiming 3 wickets while Mohammad Ali and Ankit Baghel secured 2 each. Raza Baloch was also awarded the Caravans Game Changer Award and Jumanne Masquater was the Man of the Match.
Moreover, the Tanzania Cricket Association has hailed the tournament’s sponsors Petrofuel, Alliance Insurance, Grand restaurant and Color flex Inks & Coatings for their endless support to the development of the game in the country despite the effects of Covid-19.
