Led by Arif Ahmed, Millwall went out firing on all hitting his cylinders. Shakeel Ahmed blasted another superb 50 alongside Shumon Miah, who hit a second fifty of the patient 47. With some last-minute hitting from Salman (20), Millwall finished on 167-6. Super season Rangers in reply lost Saif Khan early and promptly collapsed, with Jamil Ahmed taking two wickets in succession, alongside three run-outs. Rangers were bowled out for just 60, handing Millwall a 107-run win. Just three points now separate the two sides. Both have still to play Old Fallopians 1sts, meaning one of the league’s longest-serving clubs will help decide who wins Super Rangers the title. skipper Altaf Bhat Broadway saw off a tense match against Jamal Ali’s Masiha on pitch 2. Masiha, missing in-form opener and keeper Stuart Miller, won the toss and opting to bat. Despite losing several early wickets, Masiha finished with a solid total of 146, featuring an unbeaten 39 from Gus MacKay alongside 17 from Adnan Ali. Will Jack led the respose for Broadway with a blitzing half century. The New Zealander shared a match-winning stand with Cam Roberts (38) and finished unbeaten on 54, as Broadway edged to 147-6 with four balls remaining. Mad Marrocas enjoyed a tense victory over Regents, despite Regents’ opener Daniel Ormsby again demonstrating his riveting form to smash a superb 55. Regents finished on 141-4, Ormsby sharing a stand of 89 with David Campbell, who weighed in with a confident 41. The Maroccas lost early wickets in their reply but Charlie Cox (51) held his nerve and his side completed their victory with five balls remaining. Heavy showers washed out all Tuesday’s matches without a ball being bowled, including a crunch Division Two contest between Sky and Homerton. Wednesday saw Victoria Lounge return to second place in Division Two with victory over Bansko Bears in a low-scoring match on pitch 1. The Bears hit 110-3, with Tom Curtis (43) and Ollie Meikle (27) top scoring, as Bansko struggled to find the boundaries against solid bowling from the Lounge. In reply, Lounge skipper Jim Crutcher hit a patient 50. Despite losing James Neal for 14, Stefan Phillipson’s hefty match-winning six in a score of 23 propelled the Lounge to victory, with two overs to spare. A win next week against Expats in their final game will guarantee Victoria Lounge a place in Division One next season.
