I guess shiva got 11 wickets in 3 games playing for bees!! he is
goign to be another Imran in the making!! Great to have 2 leggies in

by 19 runs
Santa Clara-II lost 2 early wickets to great bowling by Ganesh
removing Hassan. A and Krishna. Sujesh and Fareed had a 45 runs
partnership to take the score to 55 in 20 overs for 2 wickets. Fareed
and Amit valia had a small partnership. The big partnership of 76 runs
came between chandru and amit when they played aggressively. chandru
got out for a well made 26 runs. Shiva and Amit had another 35 runs
partnership. Amit valia played an amazing knock to take the score to
203 with the support of chandru, fareed, saad and shiva. Chandra and
Bilal kept things tight for stanford A. ganesh took early wickets and
abbas bowled well in the death. Bilal was unlucky not to get a wicket
but bowled really well. Abbas Jaffery is a good find and that kid
bowled with lot of pace.
Stanford-A were cruising @ 70 for 1 wicket @ 7th over chasign 204 .
Saeed scored 22 runs in 3 overs and got out. The score was 30 runs in
4 overs. Like usual spinners came on to bowl in the 9th over and the
game changed. Saeed and anwar were hitting sixes and made it look like
the groudn was small specially against the wind. They hit soem good
shots and weren't bad balls. Anwar was hitting shots @ will against
medium pacers and was unable to control it once the spinners were on.
Fareed cleaned up mushi, anwar and nishant. Ganesh was batting with a
hamstring injury and was unable to open up and santa clara-II
controlled the game from then on. They never looked to chase since
sikander, Nauman and Abbas were unable to score freely and pressure
got to them. Imran was unplayable on that wicket and middle order
struggled to have any momentum. Abbas looked comfortable but was out
played by a beauty from shiva and got stumped. Bilal and ganesh gave
some threat after Bilal playign soem good shots towards the end.
Sujesh supported from other end with a maiden on 45th over and run
rate climbed to more than 6 runs per over. Finally saad came back and
bowled few brilliant overs to finish the game @ 184. Shiva bowled
beautifully to take 3 wickets.
After such a great start santa clara-II snatched the game away from
stanford-A. Good game and beating a team with solid batting line-up
speaks volume of the performance as a team.Great game to be part of
and good win for Santa Clara-II
Good umpiring by sher Ali from carribean.
