Weekend Matches

The weekend saw three good matches (but less spectators). Power Rangers beat Rocks in the first one, Pistons beat Warriors and Bulls beat Monsters.

The details about the score will be posted soon on the blog, so let me give a summary of each these (as each these need special mention for one or other reason) :)

Power Rangers vs Rocks - this was surely a test of stamina for both these good teams. At one stage the Rocks seemed to get over the opponents to win the match but some late hitting by Ramandeep (remember him for his knock against Warriors) ensured Power Rangers were still a tough team to get through.

Pistons vs Warriors - Warriors were one short of their 10 players & thanks to Ajay Sir to providing them a good support by joining them for the match. So with sir on the team, the Warriors seemed to have got the confidence and started with a Maiden wicket over. Things were going equally balanced till the 9th over of the Pistons innings, when Warriors gave away 28 of their last over to get a win target of 104 runs. Warriors started good but lost it in the end. Pistons win their first match of the tournament.

Bulls vs Monsters - Usain Bolt made two world records within 7 days and so was the intention of the Bulls. Having beaten Power Rangers, they trashed Monsters (Monster was 27 all out) in almost similar fashion. Umesh took the second hattrick of the tournament and proved Bulls cannot be just taken for granted. What a batting / bowling / fielding display by the whole team. Special mention of Sony John, who proved a brilliant runner (for injured batsman Sunil Verma) and took few brilliant catches.

Are the Bulls going to make a Hat-Trick of hattrick wickets in their next match? Are they are getting more and more invincible each passing day? This is really getting exciting each passing day... We are enjoying a lot.... hope you all are :)
