Almighty has given many reasons of joy. Hobbies are one of those. We are a happy bunch of people in Rockerzzz where hobbies of everyone converge to cricket. Usually we play on Saturdays but due to unavoidable work we had to shift it to the next day. It was a fine sunday morning and not many turned up. But this didn't dampen the spirit of the ones who gathered. They got together and proposed a match against a team already present in the ground....
Us: Tausif, Kashif, Farooq, Affaque, Rakib, Shaimir, Buland, Reyaz, Tanzeel, Imtiaz, Iqbal, Afzal, Vicky, Sumit
Us: Tausif, Kashif, Farooq, Affaque, Rakib, Shaimir, Buland, Reyaz, Tanzeel, Imtiaz, Iqbal, Afzal, Vicky, Sumit
1st match: We set a target of 72 in 12 overs and won the match by 10 runs
Highlights of the game: The weather was gloomy. The ground was wet with the overnight rain. We won the toss and elected to bat much to the surprise of the opposite team. Odds were against us, we weren't playing with our headley ball. We had obey our opposition. Neverthlesss the mindset that was formed before the game that we couldn't play with a lighter ball creeped into the game. We started to lose our way, wickets fell at regular intervals and we were just less than 40 after 8 overs. Afzal Sumit Vicky and Tausif all were back into the pavillion. Reyaz and Tanzeel were at crease rotating strikes and scoring at snails pace. A few hit here and there brought them into fighting total zone. That was it. 72 was the target set. Like always Rockerzzz have a never say die spirit. The committment and the team effort shown during the fielding was unparalleled. Farooq and shaimir blew terror into the pitch. Enemies weren't able to score against them. Ably supported by Affaque and Rakib brought them down to a situation were they needed 19 off the last 3 overs. Shaimir bowled a superb over where he gave only 5 runs. Farooq better it in the next over giving only 1 run which was a wide and took 2 wickets. Opposition lost the plot and could only score 2 runs in the last over bowled by Buland. There was a situation when the equation was 11 off 2 balls. The ball went flying to the long on boundary where Tausif put up a timely jump to take a sensational catch to wrap the match.

2nd match: we set the target of 64 in 10 overs and won the match by 11 runs. The script was similar to the first match. However there was no thriller this time. Major contribution by bat was from Tanzeel Kashif and Buland. For opposition wickets fell at regular intervals, they were never in the game.
After our opposition left we split into teams and played another game of 10 overs against each other. Tanzeel's team lost against Reyaz's team. The winning team chased down the target of 92 runs in 8 overs. The team witnessed some hard hitting by Tanzeel, Afzal and Iqbal.
