Shizuoka Kytes C.C Vs Nagoya C.C  
 Indian Engineers C.C Shizuoka This was a very close match and with big ups and downs. Kytes batted first to score 160. The contribution of 46 from wides was highest to the total. Kytes top batsmen did well and even though they collapsed later, they had a decent 160 on board. Nagoya's Madan (opener) chopped a ball onto his foot and retired hurt early.

May 30
Serendib C.C Vs Nagoya C.C  
 Shizuoka Kytes C.C Shizuoka Nagoya upset Serendib on the back of a strong bowling and fielding display in Shizuoka. 3 excellent catches and 1 sharp runout backed up tight bowling from Hassarat (5 overs for 6 runs), Shafeeq and Saqib (5/24) to restrict Serendib to 119 all out. Manoj top-scored with 48. For a change, the Serendib bowlers were a little wayward, allowing Nagoya a relatively pressure free chase built around Madan's 21*. Just as a flurry of wickets suggested Nagoya might collapse on the final straight, Saqib came in to bolster nerves and finish the game in a hurry with 3 quick boundaries
May 31
Serendib C.C Vs Indian Engineers C.C  
 Shizuoka Kytes C.C Shizuoka IECC winning streak broken by Serendib Serendib won the toss and elected to bat first and batted intelligently mixing caution with aggression to post a very challenging total of 248 in 40 overs.

But some poor running between the wickets and some untimely wickets took the game out of IECC's reach. Finally they got all out for just 188 on the 31st over. Brief score card.... Serendib C.C 248 in 40 overs (Dhanuka(73), Ashok 4/39) Engineers C.C 188 in 30.3 overs (Dinesh(29),Vimal (26), Ashanka 2/35)

 Nagoya C.C Shizuoka Kytes moved one step closer to the KCL play-offs with a thumping 7-wicket win over Predators in Shizuoka. Batting first, Predators lost quick early wickets, but a sensible 6th wicket partnership between Skipper Andrew and Uegaki, combined with poor Kytes bowling took Predators past 100 and promised a 150+ total. The introduction of Lakmal changed all that and his spell of 5-3-4-4, including Kytes 1st ever hat-trick, wrapped up the innings in quick time on 118. Kytes then knocked off the runs for 3 wickets in under 12 overs, Joel smashing 60* off 32 balls in a very impressive display of power hitting.
