Match 1: Aakaar defeats HMV in a tricky chase

HMV won the toss and elected to bat against Aakaar. Riding on Bobby’s quickfire 51 off 34 balls and healthy contributions from Pradeep &Hardeep, HMV scored a decent 141 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in their allotted 20 overs.  Aakaar’s bowlers Naresh and Suraj returned with identical figures of 2 wickets each for 35 runs.

Half of Aakaar’s team was back in the hut with just 52 runs on the board in the eighth over. With the fall of Naresh at the score of 88 in the 14th over, HMV would have believed that they could defend their modest total.  But Rohit (32*) and No. 8 Ankit (27*) ensured that Aakar chased down the total with 3 balls to spare. Naresh, for his all-round effort bagged the man of the match trophy.

Brief Scores:

HMV: 141/6 in 20 overs (Bobby-51, Pradeep -35, Hardeep- 34, Naresh: 2/35, Suraj: 2/35)

Aakaar: 142/6 in 19.3 overs (Rohit-32*, Ankit-27*, Hardeep: 2/20, Mahul: 2/27)

Match 2: CCPL wins over Pearson Strikers

In an all-round batting effort, CCPL managed 208 runs for the loss of 4 wickets with contributions from Aradhya (49*), Nimish (35), Jogender (34) and Ayush (29). Pearson bowlers were nowhere close to maintaining their line as extra runs amounted to 40. Only Salil could return with respectable figures of 2/25.

If Pearson’s bowlers’ day was forgettable then the batsmen were no different. They showed no intent or application while chasing a big total and were bundled out for merely 76 runs in 11.3 overs.  Opener Ravi Khurana managed to score 37 but rest of the batting collapsed.
