Ras Bingi lost their 5th match in a row but had Rufus Ntiamoah taking 4-12 in 3 overs, and Nurudeen Ibrahim also taking 4-25 in 3 overs, in the bowling figures.

With 4 more weeks to wrap up, a better Net Run Rate requires the ultimate champions as the single round robin tournament becomes competitive.

On July 4, MMG bounces back to play Karizma on Oval A, in the morning. Defenders stands a chance to move top of the table for the first time with a win but faces a stiff competition from CSK on Oval B.
