ACC needed a win against Patidar to keep up with the top sides in case they want to stay in the hunt for promotion to the top division.

However, a missing uniform meant that they could only field 10 players and this worked against them as the Patidar lower order piled on the runs with some brutal hitting helping them post a competitive 235 all out.

In the chase, already a wicket down even before a single ball is bowled, ACC was further dented by early in roads made by Patidar that left them stranded at 20 for 5.

Only a 7th wicket partnership between John Ilukor (45) and Collins Okwalinga (21) helped them avoid embarrassment with the team bundled out for 117.

The win for Patidar means they are among the favorites for promotion from Division 2 while ACC might have to wait another year before they can gain promotion.

In Jinja, Avengers kept up with the top sides with a comfortable win over Nile.

Avengers lie in 3rd place and if they keep taking care of their business they stand a huge chance of crushing the promotion party.
