Team Bowlers; Tanzeel(c), Afaque, Afsal, Maaz, Yuvi, Gaj, Suraj & Rehan (jr)

Bowlers vs batsman...who played well...who won? That was decided today....and guess what....batsman prevailed on the both the ocassion. Off day for bowlers...who couldnt defend their scores

1st match: Bowlers willing to bat first scored 84 in 12 overs. Batsman easily chased it down in the 10th over

Highlights of the match

- Tanzeel and Gaj started offf cautiously, Tanzeel scoring bulk of the runs in their partnership of 23 in 3 overs
- A few quick wickets and meaty blows from Yuvi and Afsal took the score to 63 in 7 overs
- But then batsman too had bowlers in Vikash, Buland and Vicky. They applied brakes and strangled bowlers and their innings folded to only 84 in 12 overs
- Vicky provided a powerful start to batsman's inning. He picked up 19 runs in Maaz's first over
- Wicket of Reyaz Vicky Ameen and few others fell and 40 runs still remaining, the bowling team thought they had a chance. Little did they knew that Faisal and Sumit will finish it off. Faisal hitting clean sixes showed his class after he was off color for couple of months in the past

2nd match: 10 overs match. Start for bolwers were not good. But they still managed 75 which batsman team chased down in 9th over.

Highlights

- Yuvi and suraj did belt few out of the park in their respective knocks
- Vikash was difficult to score. Vicky and Buland supported him well. Bowlers didn't score much to defend against a strong line up of batsman
- The team will find it difficult if it's star bowler like afsal find difficulty in getting his rythm. Few extras and occasional boundaries in his over depleted the moral of the bowling team
- Faisal picked up from where left in the first game. Vikash was in sublime touch while scoring against Afsal and Afaque
- Yuvi tried to pull things back after taking couple of wickets but it was quite late
- Vicky came in the end finished it off in style to make it 2-0 and a memorable day for the team full of batsman
