Darulshafa take on Bhalot at Green Lane CC, the winner of the fixture is likely to have the upper hand as the teams go head to head in the LSD cup final to be played on the 27th August at Park Avenue, Bradford. 2nd Place AK Eagles hope to narrow the gap at the top of the table as they take on Karmand at Park Avenue. All four teams in the relegation zone play each other and the results is likely to reshape the standing at the bottom of the table after tomorrows results. Heaton Park will host Bradford Moor at Rawdon Meadows, whilst Great Horton Sports host Rising Stars at Hopton Mills and Kashmir host Whiterose at Elland CC.
The fixtures at the top of the Crescent Section tomorrow is likely to change the table standing as Scouthill host Nafees at Bradley and Colnebridge CC in the local derby whilst 3rd place Subhan take on 4th place Kings XI Lahore at Gildersome CC. Can Rajput move to the top of the table, they are hoping Scouthill will do them a favour by beating Nafees.
In the Jinnah Section top three play opposite side of the their respective table so should be able to maintain their standing, whilst the 3rd place Ghourghusti take on 4th place CAX’s XI in the Star Section, the winner may have an outside chance of gaining promotion if Indus Bradford who are leading the table drop a few games.
It’s all to play for tomorrow, just to remind clubs, the deadline for registering new players ends on midnight of the 31st July 2023.
