Swamibapa will be hoping to continue with their fine form in the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association Super Elite League when they visit Nairobi Gymkhana on Sunday.
Following their six-wicket win over Ruaraka last weekend, Swamibapa begin Sunday’s encounter as favourites.
However, they should expect stiff challenge from Gymkhana’s bowlers who dismissed Cutchi Leva for 46 runs last Sunday and chased it in just 8.3 overs with seven wickets in hand.
NPCA champions Stray Lions will be seeking to recover from their bitter 26-run loss to arch-rivals Kanbis at their Peponi School backyard last weekend when they travel to face Cutchi Leva at Samaj School, Nairobi West.
Kanbis, who boast of dependable batsmen Narendra Kerai, Rakep Patel, Nehemiah Odhiambo, Dhiren Gondaria and Rajesh Bhudia, will host Ruaraka in a match they start as favourites. Ruaraka on the other hand have some young promising players who are capable of causing major upsets.
In the NPCA Super Plate League, Ngara will be at home to Kanbis B at Nairobi South C and Obuya Academy will host Kongonis at Lenana School while Sikh Union will travel to Park Road to face Sir Ali Muslim Club.
At the end of the league, the last two teams in each group will be demoted while the top two in Super plate will be promoted to Super Elite.
At the end of their fixtures, the six teams in Super Elite will compete in a 75 overs league.
