In other matches of the day, the Embassy of Australia, WWF, Mobicom, Max La´gence, The Himalayan Times and Tele Talk registered a win each.



The provision to keep a lady member in each team proved to be costly for NSJF as they were handed 15 runs penalty for fielding a four-man team.



NSJF restricted WWF to 28 runs in five overs but they had to chase a total of 43 runs for victory after the opponents were awarded 15 runs. In reply, NSJF were able to score only 35 runs off five overs.
