Dingee moved into pole position after belting Calivil by 110 runs on Saturday to win its third game in a row.
Calivil was routed for just 53 after being sent in, with Ken Bell (3-6 off 8) doing the bulk of the damage with the ball for Dingee.
Dingee answered with 8-163 after earlier being 4-37, with Jonathan Bryers (39) top-scoring.
Lachlan Ralphs took 3-34 off seven overs for Calivil, which slipped from second to fourth with the loss.
• Elmore won a high-scoring contest with Heathcote in which 382 runs were scored.
The Redbacks – who climbed from fifth to third with the win – compiled 4-210 batting first, which featured 61 from opener Bailey Boyack.
Heathcote was on the backfoot early in its chase when it fell to 3-19, but rallied to finish at 8-172 – a score that would usually win more games than not in the NUCA.
Luke Bell made his second half-century in a row with 51.
• Bagshot slipped out of the top four after losing its third game in a row, this time against Goornong.
The Walruses’ score of 130 batting first, which included 55 from Carl Thiesz, proved to be a winning total thanks to Jesse Tuohey.
With Goornong’s Tuohey taking 4-2, Bagshot collapsed from 2-97 to finish at 9-121.
All-rounder Marc Sherwell produced a double of 41 and 3-6 for Bagshot.
• For the second week in a row Colbinabbin forfeited, this time against Raywood.
