CVCC won the toss and elected to bat with light breeze in the morning at Wilson ground. CVCC started with a bang first over 6 runs with some good shots from Prabhjot. Sukhi looked good playing straight on a good wicket. Hasan Was getting good movement off the wicket. Umair struck with a beauty to get prabhjot bowled in the first ball he bowled. Prabhjot have been a backbone for CVCC scoring chunk of their runs and losing him early hit them badly. Mohit was next to walk in  and found ti difficult to cope up against good bowling from bees. Disaster struck was the first thought when hasan pulled his hamstring during his run-up and was struggling. Hasan started using short run-up and bowled another beauty to get Mohit bowled and his off stump was disturbed. Amritpal walked in and didn't look comfortable from ball one and was caught by Ravi Shankar which was a blinder at Gully of Umair's Bowling. Umair was really hitting good line and length and was at his best. Sukhi was set up since he started being aggressive against his natural game. Caught at Backward Gully well caught by Ravi shankar. Score suddenly read 8 overs 29 for 4. CVCC struggling and game not over yet since Carmo yet to walkin and Ranveer who never give up yet to bat had some hope. Shahid walked in and played some good shots and scored 13 with 2 boundaries. Mihir the Magic Arm yet again started well and troubled CVCC batsman with good movement and control with the new ball. Hasan had to eventually walked out in pain to avoid further injury and Little Cheetah (ismail) came to help out in the field. Shahid was well caught by krish off a slash at backward point. Sunil was caught by another great peace of slip fielding by krishna who have the safest hands which any captain can rely on. Mihir got his second wicket byb now and score got to 43 for 6 wickets. Gurnek walked in at #7 and got bowled to Mihir after getting frustrated for 8 balls. He is a free stroke player and was unable to time anything lead to his downfall. Carmo and Rana Joined and as expected they put together a good partnership of 38 runs. Carmo at his best started attacking and got few boundaries and looked really set. Rana was settling down one end. Carmo got run out to a good piece of fielding by Rohit Patwari after 4 dot balls from Sujesh at the score of 86 in 25 overs. Gurjpal got LBW to Sujesh after scoring 8 runs but had a good partnership of 28 runs with Ranveer. Vicky was edging and nudging and got 4 runs. Ranverr hit some good shots to his favorite region of Long on and deep midwicket and got out Last by Karan of Prumjot's bowling. CVCC folded for 118 in 32.2 overs. SCCC Bees took at the catches which came their way and if they had put extra effort in 1 more catch off Gurjpal then CVCC wouldn't have crossed 100.

Game started before Lunch and played for 12 overs. SCCC started with a positive intent chasing down but cvcc was firing on all cylinders since they had no other choice to defend 118 on a good outfield. Ravi.s got out to a good Ball curving out from Gurjpal to a good catch at Gully who was hitting good areas and generating good zip. Rohit patwari walks in next and couldn;t cope up with the moving ball and tempo and got beaten by a ball which cut back in sharply from Gurjpal. Score read 11 for 2 in 5 overs. Dawood still there is plenty of hope. Krish Joined dawood and took the score to 20. Dawood got one which was very close moving down the leg but umpiring which was very consistent throughout the day have to go with his instinct and got LBW. This was a big blow for Bees. SCC bees suddenly 20 for 3 in 7 overs. Vicky from CVCC was bowling good areas and getting good movement. Prumjot Walked in Next and Looked really comfortable and played some scincillating shots. Krish was settling down to ensure his team is in safe hands and showed immense maturity to get the game through without any risks. Prumjot got out to a international level left handed catch by Mohit at Short cover of vicky's bowling. Suddenly some faces were dull and discussion started but the whole message was to enjoy the batting and take whatever comes and do 10 runs target at a time. Sujesh Joined Krish and should have taken the team through but got out to a bad ball getting a faint edge trying to cut a wide short slow ball after facing 5 balls to Wicket keeper Prabhjot. Vicky was licking his fingers with Prumjot and Sujesh out and bowled a beauty which swung a mile the very next ball and got krishna bowled. SCCC bees in trouble is what cvcc thought but they still had guys who can win games up their ranks. Score read 44 for 6 in 15 overs. Mihir Kanojia and krish had a steady partnership and just when things were going fine Mihir got trapped in front by Ranveer who bowls left handed dubbly dobblies with good control. They had a small 14 runs partnership. Score read 58 for 7 in 20 overs. Another 61 runs needed with 3 wickets in hand and krish batting Bees were in high hopes since CVCC started tiring down since it's already 20 overs and Main bowlers are tired and now the ball have gone old and easy to score of medium pace at SCCC wicket. Karan Jhavar who is playing his debut game for SCCC bees played a very instrumental role in stitching a 61 runs partnership to win the game. Not that SCCC Bees won without a drama. Karan played a tired shot with a lapse of concentration at a crucial juncture when Bees needed another 20 runs to win. Keeper, bowler and short extra cover fielder all called for it and finally the swapped new keeper dropped it misjudging it. 31 st over was a beauty Ball 1 - Beautiful pick up shot to midwicket boundary by krish, Ball 2 Straight into the trees at benton end picked off a lengtht walking into the ball. 3rd ball was Put over extra cover for 3 runs. 4th ball was perfectly played by karan for 2 runs and that's the end of it. Highlight was a Matured knock of 52 Not Out from krish Goel for his Patient and Watchful innings and taking load on his shoulder in a low scoring game where seniors failed. Kudos to krish for a great knock before he takes off for Under-18 US team.

Special thanks to Vijay Goel as always, Guru Maan, Shailu, Ranjit and his kids, Jagat and Mandeep for being there and supporting bees.

Awesome Job guys and way to go to keep it 5 wins and 3 losses and Give everyone a good hunt for their money playing against bees in A-Div. We continue having fun and enjoy every bit of it.

Thanks,
Sujesh Pulikkal
