With the Super Division, Division One, and Three titles already taken, the cut-throat race for Division Two promises to treat fans to some exhilarating displays
With a few more mountains left to climb, Ngara B hope to maintain their competitive edge as they seek to tame third-placed Stray Leopards B in a Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) 50-Overs Division Twp home match slated for Ngara Sports Club in South C on Sunday.
With the Super Division, Division One, and Three titles already taken, the cut-throat race for Division Two promises to treat fans to some exhilarating displays.
Kanbis B already have the Division One 50 Overs League-2024 title in the bag following heroic measures they have taken to decimate their opponents.
Samaj Development and Kanbis B recently emerged champions in Division Three and Division One respectively, serving great moments ahead in the Division Two category.
Ngara B currently top the NPCA Division Two log on 32 after 10 matches, two points clear of Stray Lions C who have played nine matches. Team Manager Harsh Patel expressed optimism about his B side's determination after their A team lost the Division One title to Kanbis B.
“Firstly, I would like to congratulate Kanbis A for winning Division One. As for Division Two, our boys are good enough to reach the pinnacle. We will come hard and fight hard to try and come top. As a manager, I am quite happy to see the amount of growth in our players who play matches worthy of their talent,” Harsh added.
In another Division Two match Obuya B plays host to An-nadil Jamaly at Lenana.
Meanwhile, NPCA Division One continues on Sunday at various venues. Ngara SC A play Obuya A at Ngara SC in a match that could potentially determine who settles for second place. Kanbis B have already racked up an unassailable lead of 44.
Obuya A and Ngara A are placed second and third respectively on the Division One log incidentally with 34 points apiece, and separated on Net Run Rate (NRR).
At Samaj grounds in Nairobi West, hosts SCLPS YL B have a date with Swamibapa B. Sir Ali B take on Gymkhana B at Sir Ali while Ruaraka B host Sikh Union B at Ruaraka Sports Club.
