Bessborough closed in on the Middlesex Championship Division One title after easing to a nine-wicket win over Shree Kutch Leva Patel CC.

SKLP were all out for 152 in 49.2 overs after Rohan Karkhanis picked up three for 37 and Mitesh Vyas returned figures of three for 41.

Openers Ramesh Gunalan (68) and Jigar Shah (77 not out) were in superb form as they set the visitors on the way to victory.

It means that a win against Perivale and anything other than ten points for Wycombe House will clinch promotion to the Middlesex County League after a three-year absence.
