Rain has been an ongoing pest in the opening rounds of this season's Lakelands Senior Men's T20 competition.

After a washout in the first round of the day, the clouds cleared to allow play to begin at Taupō's Owen Delany Park on Saturday.

Bay of Plenty Indians player Neeraj Kumar was the star with 85, including three sixes, to set up his side's total of 205/4. Kumar was well supported by Yash Patel with 75no.

Gurpreet Singh picked up two cheap wickets as the Indians won by 84 runs.

Strikers XI player Goldendeep Singh blazed 59 in their win over Generation Homes Lake Taupo with Nirmal Shaji grabbing three wickets for the Rotorua-based side.

Central's Julian Danby (50) and Lokesh Gahlan (47) guided their team to a competitive total of 136 /5 in their 20 overs, and managed to defend it with Allan McMurdo picking up a brace of wickets in the 13 run win.
