Saham Toney visit second-placed Old Buckenham on Saturday in Aliance Division One.
Skipper Simon Mower will be hoping for a strong attitude and performance this week at Old Buckenham.
Saham entertained Sprowston last weekend, looking to add to the previous week's winning start.
Two changes to the previous week's team saw Tom Smart come in for the unavailable Adi Woods and a debut for 17-year-old Harry Brown.
Saham won the toss and elected to bat. Dale Sims was promoted up the order to open with skipper Simon Mower.
Saham found it difficult to score runs early on as Sprowston's opening bowlers settled quickly into there stride.
