The Bay of Plenty Indians are on track for a fifth consecutive T20 title after another dominate display.

The latest round of the Lakeland Senior Reserve T20 competition took place in damp conditions around Rotorua on Saturday.

The evergreen Umesh Morarji smashed his BOP Indian side to victory against the Strikers XI with 51 off 18 balls, chasing down 97 without losing a wicket at Boord Park.

He was supported with a 16-ball 41 from Neeraj Kumar.

The win put them a massive 25 points clear of second-place Lake Taupō Cricket Club on the table.

Geyser JPC Old Boys beat Eastern Pirates by six wickets, chasing down 73 with club captain Kerry Hingston scoring 30no.
