Sikh Union is set to host the third week of the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association (NPCA) Women’s League, with eight teams resuming their hunt for the coveted title.
The league promises an exciting weekend of cricket as the Stray Panthers, currently leading the standings, face off against South Zone Queens, Silver Cheetah, and Nairobi Titans.
The Stray Panthers have dislodged SCLPS Ladies from the top of the log and aim to maintain their strong campaign.
They have two crucial fixtures on Saturday and Sunday. The Panthers have showcased impressive performances, with their batting order displaying sheer exuberance.
Second-placed Impalas and Nairobi Warriors are set to play the first match on Saturday.
The Impalas, who beat South Zone Babes by 3 wickets last weekend, are looking to continue their good form.
NPCA Honorary Secretary Narendra Patel, known as ‘NK,’ has expressed his enthusiasm for the women’s competition, emphasizing its importance in nurturing young talent and providing a pathway to higher levels of cricket for women.
“The world’s cricket landscape is evolving at a breakneck pace, and in such an ecosystem, it is about finding talented women players with genuine passion.
The ladies are in high spirits, and only the sky’s the limit. So Jamhuri is where it will happen this weekend; we urge fans to come out in large numbers and cheer on the girls.”
This weekend promises to be an exhilarating one for cricket fans as the NPCA Women’s League continues at Sikh Union. With intense matches lined up, the competition is set to showcase the best of women’s cricket in Nairobi. Fans are encouraged to support the teams and witness some thrilling cricket action.
