Serving up the stewed results were Middlesex and Imperial, who both recorded one win and had one defeat against them.

Middlesex, despite a stand of 129 between Mark Audain and Alston Bacchus, 40, was only able to reach 165 for 7. Audain blistered 7 fours and 2 sixes and Bacchus creamed 3 fours in their losing efforts, as Imperial won by 135 runs.

It was a reprieve for Imperial, which was beaten by Diplomats by 55 runs on Saturday.
