KICC got the better of first round giant slayers Strikers in a very tight game. The more experienced KICC side got revenge over the youngsters of Stirkers holding their nerve to defend their 204.
KICC batted first scoring a a formidable 204 but once the chase was on, Strikers made the 204 look like a small total freely finding the boundaries but they youngsters let themselves down losing some cheap wickets as they were eventually all out with 33 runs still required for the win.
The win for KICC leapfrogs them into fifth place ahead of Strikers and they will most likely finish in that position by season end.
