A one-sided contest as OEI dominate LCA across every department to seal the contest comfortably. LCA outclass their opposition by a big margin of 73 runs and LCA struggled throughout to the contest to find a foothold.
Batting first and posting a towering target of 137 runs, the OEI bowlers then stepped up and deliver the goods to bundle out LCA. Apart from Mitul Patel, no other batter could manage to get going. While Patel ensured to hold fort, LCA kept losing wickets from the other end and were never on top of the run-chase.
For OEI, Junaid Khan and Girish Singh were the pick of the bowlers. While Junaid Khan got the wickets of the top-order batters, Girish Singh cleared the tailenders as OEI cruised to victory in the end.
With this win, OEI have 12 points on the scoreboard while LCA could manage just two wins from the six games played so far.

Mitul Patel single-handedly propelling the LCA scoreboard as he moves to the 30s. However, it's a little too much too late. LCA will look to bat all ten overs, despite in a losing cause in a bid to improve their run-rate in the points table.
