Stray Lions and Kanbis are both on 40 points and they will definitely be hoping that Sikh Union annihilates Ruaraka in the last match to leverage on the run rate rule, that is if both win on the last week of the Super Division competition next weekend.
Meanwhile, in a post-match interview, Kanbis skipper Dhiren Gondaria said: "We know the wicket, we know the outfield and how it reacts, we are always lethal at home and we can chase or defend any target.

ATHLETICS Eliud Kipchoge shares how fans play a huge role in his success
It has taken years for the four-time London Marathon champion to make a name for himself and he attested that fans have played a huge role in his career.
On his part, Ruaraka hitman Sachin Gill was left to rue their second defeat of the season saying: "We have to play our last game against Sikh Union to win the title. It now depends on the last game, but then again, we are still positive in our title aspirations. I think it was a good idea to field first.
I believe 207 was a chaseable target as we scored 155 without even playing well. I honestly believe it was not a game won by them but a game lost by us. Losing our top order in the first six overs was tough.”
