In response, the Kha Imphal side slumped to just 178 run for 4 in 30 overs to concede by 43 runs.
Taking slight advantage of the weakness of NAPSA's bowling, KSDO's batsmen captured every single chance to score and took it past 200.Tarique Aziz was the highest scorer for KSDO making a total of 33 in 25 balls while Tipu gathered another 27 runs off 23 balls.
Rameez Ahamed, Raish Raja and Karim also etched their names on the score-sheet for their respective contributions of 25, 19 and 14 runs.
NAPSA's Mukul led the bowling front picking up 4 wickets in 6 overs however he could not contain the strike rate to finish with dismal result.
RK Chinglensana, Ronel and Aditya of the same team claimed one wicket each in this innings.
NAPSA's batsmen, Mukul and Aditya manned the chase for major portion of the innings both hitting half centuries but failed horribly as the required run rate proved huge to them.
Mukul hit 58 in 77 balls while Aditya piled up another 56 runs in 63 balls.
Okendra and Chinglensana also added 14 and 16 runs respectively in this chase.
Other batsmen could not help to the cause and scored paltry runs wasting much of the balls they faced.
Shah Nawaz of KSDO took two wicket in 5 overs while Tarique and Karim picked up one wicket each in 6 overs they bowled to claim the victory.
Tarique Aziz of KSDO was adjudged man of the match for his 33 runs contribution and 1 wicket haul.
