CRICKET Kanbis captain demands fresh strategy with tough games against Swamibapa & Ruaraka on the cards
Kanbis captain Dhiren Gondaria has called on his team-mates to re-energise their batting order after recent losses before taking on Swamibapa and Ruaraka this weekend.
Kanbis, Swamibapa and Cutchi Leva are all but guaranteed slots in the top four but who makes the top two is what will be known after the weekend. Ruaraka still have a mathematical chance to qualify depending on the other results.
Last weekend’s matches saw some big guns fall as the knockout stage beckons for the last four.
The biggest upset of the weekend saw Shree Cutch Leva Patel Samaj (SCLPS YL A) defeat Ruaraka A by four wickets at the latter’s backyard.

Swamis’ skipper Rushab Patel was the match’s standout player with 92 runs to his name before being caught out by Jignesh Kerai.
Kanbis A found the going tough when their dangerman and captain Dhiren Gondaria was sent back to the pavilion with one run to his name.
His dismissal appeared to hand the Swamis leeway as the middle order of Sachin Bhudiya (13), Nelson Mandela Odhiambo (22) and Vinod Rabadia (8) could only manage a total of 43.
