Played at: Wilson Adult School , Santa Clara
Umpires: Ayan. B & Ankur. M(Sunnyvale -I)- Certified
Toss: won by Cougars team and elected to bat
Cougars- I: 263/8 in 50 overs(KRISHNA.P 113 Not out, Sunny.S 42, Majid 21, Manjit 19, Imran 10/0/42/4, Saad.K 9/0/43/2, Sujesh 10/3/26/1)
defeated

by 122 runs
Match Report:
Krishna's 113 Not out(97 balls) was the best paced innings I have seen @ santa Clara ground in a long time.
First fifty came with 68 balls and he was dropped twice. Next 50 came off 22 balls with 5 sixes and then 7 balls for 13 runs.
Cougars scored 89 runs in last 10 overs. (9th wicket unbeaten partnership of 89 runs as well between fahad and krishna. He ran whole bunch of twos and singles in his innings. Sunny gave the required start by scoring 42 runs of 40 balls. Cougars were 140 odd for 7 wickets and manjit and krishna had a very good partnership in which Manjit did chunk of scoring. Sujesh, Imran and krishna bowled well for santa clara -II. Medium Pacers finsihed badly on a day where krishna was timing every ball. All the sixes he hit were sweetly timed and the ones he hit against the wind was a treat to watch. We paid the price for droppign him twice and None other batsman were looking comfortable @ the wicket. truely an amazing knock to provide an awesoem platform for cougars 263/8 in 50 overs.
Santa Clara Ii started badly by losing Hassan.A and chandru early. Krishna and Sujesh had a 45 runs partnership for 3 rd wicket. Ahmad and Imran had a 35 runs partnership for the 8th wicket. Otherwise Santa Clara-Ii after lsoing early wickets and sunny bowling with fire didn't look like chasing this big score. New player Doane played with lot of heart. He Bowled a good spell too. Akash and Manjit gave a good start to cougars with the new ball.
Cougars outplayed Santa Clara-II and Krishna's innings defined the result.
There are days where you are an opponent captain but could only admire certain things. Krishna's innings was one of them in my career. Every shot he hit was cleared with ease on a long boundary.
