SCCC Aces started batting with shiva and Karteek. Shiva got out early to a sharp catch at Short extra cover. Karteek edged one to keeper after batting well for 6 overs. kartik raina was in good rythm and moving the ball. Chandu at the other end as usual created opportunities. Rohith was caught at Gully. Aces were in trouble with 3 down for 29 runs in 8 overs. Shantanu was let go off a missed stumping chance of the bowling off chandu. Shantanu made good use of that chance and played a very steady and responsible captain's knock. SCCC Bees bowling again was disciplined and were tough to get away with. Kadu was settling in but got a reprieve at 10 runs being dropped at mid-on. Shantanu and kadu got out to good bowling by prumjot who was again bowling like a charm.  Krish Goel played a very mature innings to pace up and gave SCCC aces a respected total. Sundara pandian batted well with krish to ensure they crossed 180 runs.

SCCC bees started well and Disaster struck when prumjot batting well till then coming from a 125 Not out game played a over-confident shot of an uppish ball and got out to Krish at point. Nachiket, Ravi.S, Chandru, Candy, Mihir, SUjesh all followed without troubling scores picking wrong shots at the wrong moment and opened the gate for SCCC Aces. While all these were happening Ketan was playing another league game there scoring at will without any trouble. Rohit patwari had a small partnership with ketan and that's all Bees can feel good about after having a amazing first session doing everything right  against a quality batting line up. Rohit. R and Sameer got 2 wickets each. Shantanu, Umar and manoj supported them well. Krish. G again turned the game in Aces favor with some very tight bowling forcing batsman to play shots against the wind and got 2 wickets.
