Report:
With very humid conditions, both teams braved to perform their
best in this match.
CCC batted brilliantly in the opening putting up more than 6 runs/over average
in the first pair partnership. Both batsmen played nice strokes. First brake for
CCC came when Siddharth took charge of the bowling. In this 13th over, CCC lost
3 wickets. One of them was a runout, a marvelous throw into the bowler's end by
Sarat knocked the stumps off. Siddharth bowled out one-down batsmen on the
second ball he was facing. What a wonderful delivery that was!!!
CCC kept loosing their wickets at regular intervals after that. Siddharth, Dev,
Archie and Ashutosh all bowled brilliant spell. In the 26th over Dev took the
last 2 wickets which brought the end of CCC inning.
CCCC opened their inning with Siddharth and Bharat. Bharat unfortunately
mistimed a shot and got caught. Siddharth was having his day today. He played
some of the most awesome strokes, taking 25 runs off Shahid's 1 over, including
a huge six over mid wicket. Sarat showed an awesome six over long on as well.
After Sarat was out, Yeshpal hit 3 boudaries in 1 over and then was caught. CCCC
lost two quick wickets in 1 of the Shankar's over. Dev and Syed played
brilliantly and took the total to 146. That's when Dev got caught with a very
nice single handed catch taken by short mid-wicket fielder. Syed and Parag
helped seal the win with steady batting.
Congratulations to CCCC for a job well done, all around, everyone doing their
part.
Our MAN OF THE MATCH is SIDDHARTH who batted brilliantly and had an awesome
