Good day of cricket where it was a Harsh and little Krish Show.
SCCC Bees Batted first and lost the first wicket due to a mix up in
the middle. Imran Khan started well and had to go back to pavilion due
to this Mix up. Kenny Was bolwing well with the new ball moving the
ball like crazy. Shahbaz bowled well but bowled too many extras. Harsh
Joined chandru and stitched a 32 runs partnership by 15th over and
score was 42 for 2. Chandru got out scoring 18 runs after settling
down. Arjun joined Harsh and looked good but didn't last long. Kenny
got him bowled foxing him on a drive. Score read 56 for 3 in 17 overs.
kenny finsihed an amzaing spell just giving away 23 runs in 10 overs.
Chandrodaya soon followed Arjun and the score read 67 for 4 in 21
overs. Sujesh tried to recover the situation and had a small
partnership of 23 runs with harsh and got out for 13 to kaka's
bowling. Score reached 90 for 5 in 30 overs. In walks 15 year old
krish Goel given a new Role to perform under pressure. He looked good
from ball one and carried his form from central valley after hitting
the winning runs. This was the turning point. Harsh and krish counter
attacked and kept scoring easily. Deep was bowling with lot of fire
and lot of zip. The 6th wicket partnership took the score to 131 runs
in 38 overs. Harsh got out to a soft dismissal playign too early on a
half tracker from Steve. Harsh had a scored a brilliant 42 when he got
out. Appu joined krish and had another 27 runs partnership. Hardki
followed Appu very next ball. Sonu removed both of them in Quick
succession. krish played shots and rotated strike to ensure the score
board kept moving. He batted with purpose and didn't get bogged down.
Score reached 158 for 8 in 44 overs. Krish and kabir played very
sensibly and took the score to 180 runs and kabir tried to accelerate
in the last over and got out scoring 14 runs. Imran got out very next
ball and SCCC Bees scored 180 and got all out in 49.2 overs. ground
was nicely mowed but due to heavy sprinklers since friday evening
outfield was kind of slow. krish remained unbeaten scoring 32 runs.
Sonu took 4 wickets for 35 runs.
Good food served to the visitors to keep them smiling and started the
second session which is crucial since you never know what's up
United's sleeve and what's a good target especially with Deep back in
the team.
SCCC bees started bowling with Hardik and didn't get a good start
since he wasn't able to control the swing as it was super windy at
SCCC ground for a change. Chandrodaya Bowled at the other end with
amazing control and tied down runs. Hardik got Atif out LBW trying to
hit over mid wicket after he got to a flyer with some unconventional
Shots. kenny was nicely settling down at the other end playing with
patience. Magician Appu Chacha bowled his regulation inswinging
yorker and hit kenny low on the pads when he tried to stretch far and
flick the ball. United got to 19 for 2 in 5 overs. Sonu was settling
down and sujesh got him edged off the gloves and a low catch taken
cleanly by harsh. United-I score read 41 runs for 3 wickets in 11
overs. The Match began to swing in United's Favour when Deep Joined
Ajay. Ajay batted beautifully with a straight bat and was finding it
difficult to dislodge him. chandrodaya finsihed a fine spell of 10
overs 4 maidens 15 runs without any luck. Appu, Sujesh, Imran bowled
well but there was not even a half chance which went Bees way. Deep
looked in great touch and he is wlays the danger man since once he
gets to 40 Plus runs the history says he finish games since he hits
clean and have a good defense. SCCC Bees kept the run rate under check
and United always need 4 to 5 runs per over. Rush of blood got into
deep after he hit Apu chacha for a leg side swipe in the 43rd over
when United-I wre right in the chase with an uppe rhand requiring just
37 runs in 8 overs with 7 wickets in hand. Appu got Deep bowled when
he repeated the shot and from then on it's history. Deep scored a
brilliant 78 runs. Ajay was well settled batting with 42 and Sanjay
joined him. United batting was tall and SCCC bees kept their hope
alive since spinners were bowling well and runs weren't easy to come.
Ajay and Steve took the score to 155 in 15 th over and Ajay went
bizzare on a straight ball from krish which hit him below the stump
level. Big wicket at that moment since he never looked like getting
out till then. 5 overs 26 runs with 5 wickets in hand. Tarun Joined
Steve and disaster struck again in the form of run out. Full blooded
drive to Mid off and harsh made no mistake and turned the game with a
direct hit since tarun is normally a busy cricketer who look for
singles which ohters in the team don't. Score read 157 for 6 in 45. 3
overs. Kunal joined Steve. Imran went wicketless after 8 good overs.
krish was bowling with lot of discipline and they were hardly able to
score 2 runs off him. He was gettign into good rhythm after getting
Ajay out. Sanjay was key player at this moment. Kunal played well but
rush off blood to hit Magic chacha man ended up with a brilliant catch
again by harsh right behind bowlers head. Score reads 164 for 7
wickets in 47 overs. United needed 16 runs in 3 overs. Game got
interesting. Now it's run rate and cool head. krish Bowled the 47th
over and ended up with a hattrick. Ball one: Sanjay(Steve) caught
superbly at deep sqaure leg by Harsh Saini again. Steve stood grounds
since he couldn't beleive it. Ball two: Sanket new batsman caught at
short extra cover by sujesh . Equation got interestign now . I wicket
in hand and requires 15 runs in 10 balls. Ball three: Shahbaz one big
shot into the orbit behind the bowlers head and sujesh called for it
and there ends United's hope of winning this game after such a
beautiful partnership between Deep and Ajay. Kaka (Joginder) didn't
get to face a single ball. United were hesitant to take singles and
that digged their own hole in the end. krish Goel 14 year Old's first
hattrick that too in A-div. All smiles from supporters and players.
Men of the Match: krish Goel (32 Not out and 4 wickets including a
hattrick) and Harsh Saini (42 runs 3 catches and a direct hit run
out). Amazing come back to pull this victory from opponents hands.
Thanks,
Sujesh Pulikkal
