CCC Vs. RCC

An excellent example of how funny and unpredictable the game of cricket can be. RCC coming in with a win in their previous game wanted to continue the form. Their bowling was up to the mark. Samay started attacking right from his first over when he bowled Bijoy for duck on the 3rd ball of the game. CCC were at one point reduced to 35/5 in 11 overs when Arun and Pranav came into bat. They Stabilized the situation for CCC by sharing a strong (potentially dangerous) partnership for 6th wicket of approx 60 runs when samay once again was brought into attack to do some wonders for RCC. He surely obliged to the team by dismissing pranav before the drinks break, which then led to CCC collapse for a modest total of 130.

RCC came into bat knowing the fact that CCC were capable of defending this total. CCC opening bowlers proved their superiority by capturing 3 RCC wickets for 12 runs. This left Samay and Andy at the crease to take the beating of the new ball. These two RCC Ambassadors skillfully watched and played out the new ball. Samay and Andy brought RCC back to a strong position where CCC hopes of a victory had almost started to dip until Pravin and Shankar came into attack. These two bowlers with their Skills and determination to make a match out of this proved deadly for RCC. Pravin soon broke the partnership between Samay and Andy and the scoreboard now read 64/4 in 12 overs. From here the RCC downfall began. Soon RCC were reduced to 88/9 in 19 overs. Last pair for RCC (Aadarsh and Ashish) brought some smile to shameful faces of their teammates by sharing a wonderful 24 run stand for the 10th wicket to take the score to 112 when Ashish was caught behind.

Congrats CCC.
