Game which went to the Wire on a superb outfield where Saqib played
with the maturity to Win games single handedly when Marin required 90
runs in last 13 overs to win. Zee played an amazing knock as opener
playing some splendid cover drives finding gaps. Santa Clara II
started well with 80 for 2 and then gettign to 150 for 3, Chandru
batted sensisibily to score 43. Shiva and Chandrodaya batted
brilliantly to take the score to 220 for 3 in 46 overs. Lost few
wickets to accelerate in the end and hamza came back well in second
spell to capture 3 wickets. Imran Nana bowled well to control runs.
Nirosh had an off day and the score board says it all. Marin were 60
for 5 including shoaib, Zulfkil their new australian left handed
batsman. Ozair and Saqib did a good recovery to settle down and chase
the score. Saqib batted superbly with the lower order to ensure
victory was reached in style. Nirosh and Rishi gave good support to
Saqib. The shot of the day was a switch hit from saqib which went over
covers for a 4. Marin thoroughly deserve to Win this game for the
calmness saqib showed by playing an innings without giving a single
chance. Good Knock Saqib.

I will update accurate scores once i have the score sheet for batsman
and bowlers.

Jaggi and Mahesh did an excellent Job umpiring.
