MATCH NO. 4
Mahindra was on 86 Runs and there comes a
wonderful innings from Pratik &Rajat, Rajat was
middling every balls which is coming his way and
getting past the boundary ropes at ease and by the
end of the 19th over score was 147 when prateek
got out it was the last over and rajat was nearing his
half century and new man in priyanshu has done
what he exactly needs to do by taking single on the
first ball he faced and given the strike to Rajat tech
Mahindra reached at 164 by end of the 20th over
and rajat was 1 short of his 50 but he has done the
wonderful job of scoring 49 from 21 balls with 5 big
hits and 3 boundaries in his wonderful inning
Tech Mahindra batsman have done their job
quite decently and it was now time for bowling
department to restrict the opposition from reaching
the 165 run mark. Kuntal deb and ArmanPatnaik
started LnT inning but Tech Mahindra bowlers
are bowling at such a wonderful line and length
that it was proving difficult for LnT to score runs
though LnT haven’t lost any wicket in first five overs
but they were not able to score at will Kuntal deb
have played more dot deliveries and succumbed to
pressure of scoring fast he has taken 23 deliveries
to score his 6 runs which proved costly to
LnT and even after good good cameo from
subham and steady inning vikasLnT
was 28 Short of Tech Mahindra
Rajat Bhatalwar was the
Nimble- I Player of the
Match for his powerful
big hitting inning of 49
Runs in 21 balls

Match No-04 started Sunguard won the
toss and elected to they have started well CriCket, the food
Amol&Pawan opened and scored the of our souL
run freely at the end of the 7th over Amol
thrown away his good start which he had got at
the score of 54 Sunguard was looking set to score
a good score with Pawan at one end but sunguard was
not able to capitalize on start they have got and as many
as 5 wickets were fail without scoring in double digit, Kunal
was tried to play with Pawan but it was too late by than Pawan
was out to the pressure from other end on the individual score of
58 from 50 deliveries which include 7 boundaries and2 sixes, Sunguard
was all out at the score of 122 at the end of 19th over Barclays
It was always going to be the easy chase on the track where if Vs
batsman apply themselves they can score runs easily, but SunGard
1st inning hero PawanAnand have different plans as he
scalped 2 pricy wickets in the first over itself the score
which was looking easy to chase was now looking
challenging for Barclays but than Abhishek and
Pramod joined hands and started rotating
the strike and getting the odd boundary
they fought well to come out of tough time but
when Barclays was looking to get away with game
fourtune turned upside down and abhishek and
Pramod fell down in quick succession, again we were
in the situation where Sunguard was looking to dominate
and in 12.1 overs Barclays was on 76 runs asthere batting was
looking solid Akash and Raj were started scoring in singles and
doubles to keep the scoreboard moving and getting the match to
close to the target where Pawan again got the better of Raj when Barclays
looked to win it soon it was looking very close encounter when Routhy hit
one big six and turn the match in Barclays favor and Barclays won the match in
19th over with four wickets.
PawanAnand was the Nimble- I Player of the Match for his inning of 58 Runs in 50
balls and 3 wickets in his 4 over’s although he was not able to win the match for
his side b ut for his wonderful contribution for making the match out of
it.
