Tracy united won the toss and coming after a win against UC warriors looked a confident unit. Tracy won the toss and elected to bat on a good wicket with a slow outfield but good enough to score 160 to 200 runs. Raman and Bobby started for Tracy United. Scored 16 in 3 overs thanks to good help of wides. Raman was dropped first ball of Candy (chandrodaya's) bowling but got bowled trying to step out to satish who was bowling good pace. Bobby gave a catch to Long on trying to clear. Amar and Hemi played some very good cricket and Bees had to change strategy due to score being 42 runs in 8 overs for 2 wickets. Amar hit some clean shots. Hemi got out to beauty bowled by Mihir which seamed away. Laddi tried his best to get partnerships going but everyone were in a hurry and due to discipled bowling for 21 overs with only 3 extras from 17th over (70 runs) to 38 over and gave away only 28 runs. Sujesh took 4 wickets for 6 runs and well supported by prumjot with another dream spell of 5 overs for 3 runs and Mihir who has been very consistent and giving all important break throughs in every game bowled 10 overs for just 18 runs. SCCC bees did well to recover and cleaned up tracy united for a very low total.
Also SCCC Bees bowled 22 overs in 1 hr and according to partha it's a record
Lunch was taken after 12 overs of batting.
Santa Clara Bees Started Batting with Prumjot and Dawood again going great guns chasing a very modest total. Dawood Pulled and hooked at will against tracy united opening bowler abbas. dawood got out in 7th over scoring 20 (26 balls), Abbas took a low diving catch at mid off. Prumjot after getting a good start again played an expansive stroke against his odds and got out to a good catch by Wicket keeper Jodha. Ravi shankar and Chandru looked all set to chase it down since run rate wasn't an issue and all it required was to bat through. Ravi shankar glided one to Gully where they again took a good catch. Tracy united fielding and catching has been top notch and if these kids put runs on board it might be tough to chase since they are sharp in the field. Chandru and Rohit started building another partneship. Score was flowing since Tracy united bowled 24 wides within the 17 overs. Kuldeep got chandru out stumped. krish Joined Rohith Ramkumar who started slowly but was in sublime touch and hit some glorious shots down the ground. Rohith Ramkumar remained not out on 27 and SCCC Bees won by 6 wickets in the 21st over. krish remained not out with rohith.
Over All good game of cricket.
Umpiring by Ahiraj and Partha was very consistent. I Am very impressed with Adhiraj who was very focussed with his job. Great to see some good umpires in our league.
