Match Result: OCC won by 126 runs over Greenville Hurricane (GHCC)
Man of the Match: Ninad Vartak (For scoring 53 runs and giving great start to
OCC innings and taking an important wicket)
The match started at 11 AM and was played in extremely humid conditions. It was
also overcast for most of the day and fortunately rain held up and we could get
a match in. GHCC won the toss and elected to field.
OCC Innings: Ninad and Saneep gave a solid start to the OCC innings by posting
over 100 runs in 16 overs, they smashed the ball to all corners of the ground.
Then GHCC came back with 2 quick wickets to get rid of both openers. Ninad
scored 53 and Saneep scored 42. Omar and Tanmay had a great 3rd wicket
partnership of 70 runs in quick time. Omar hit a huge six of Faraz and Tanmay
hit 2 big sixes off Kam Desai and Majid respectively. Omar (27 runs) and Tanmay
(45 runs) departed in quick succession and Abhijit (24 runs) hit some big blows
to ensure that OCC ended up at 210 for 8 off its 30 overs.
GHCC Innings: Gauri took a wicket in the very first over and since that time
tight bowling and some good catching by OCC ensured that GHCC never were able to
put up a fight and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Gauri, Oz and
Tanmay took 2 wickets each and Ninad, Sameer and Abhijit took 1 wicket each. In
the end, GHCC was all out for 84 runs in 21 overs, OCC ending up on the winning
side by 126 runs.
Thanks to GRCC (Vicky, Abey and Dhiren) for a good umpiring performance.
