by 7 wickets

United Lost malhi early but Harry was playing lone hand and played some excellent shots on the off side. Ahmad and sathya picked up early wickets and at one point united where 63 for 3 wicketsin 15 overs. But tight bowling from sujesh and srinivas restrcited united in the middle overs  to 83 in 25 overs followed by an amazing spell of leg spin by aditya thyagarajan and Imran. They got all out for 120 runs. Sonu was the last batsman out trying to accelerate for a a well made 19 runs. United team tried but couldn't beat the field on a nicely mowed ground.

Santa Clara-II started their innings with hassan amin and krishna. they put on 24 runs before hassan amin got bowled to a good ball by Sonu. Chandru walks and keep the score board moving and had another 30 runs partnership with krishna. United bowled tight and tried hard but 120 were too less to defend. krishna got out for a well amde 23 runs to a soft dismissal getting a leading edge of steve's bowling. In walks Aditya the coolest bastman u can find in california. he milked the bowling initially and played some superb drives along the ground to make the game one-sided. Aditya and chandru had a 40 runs partenrship before chandru got to a caught and bowled by Ajay for 24 runs. Chandrodaya joined aditya and ensured no body else batted on a day where santa clara-II did everything right. Aditya finished the game like usual in style by scoring 38 not out and chandrodaya remained not out scoring 10 runs.

Execellent umpiring by Sundaram and shashi. A.S from stanford-A-II. very impressed with their judgement and consistency. A job very well done.

The game as usual was played in great spirits.
