CVCC won the toss and elected to bat with light breeze in the morning at Wilson ground. CVCC started with a bang first over 6 runs with some good shots from Prabhjot. Sukhi looked good playing straight on a good wicket. Hasan Was getting good movement off the wicket. Umair struck with a beauty to get prabhjot bowled in the first ball he bowled. Prabhjot have been a backbone for CVCC scoring chunk of their runs and losing him early hit them badly. Mohit was next to walk in and found ti difficult to cope up against good bowling from bees. Disaster struck was the first thought when hasan pulled his hamstring during his run-up and was struggling. Hasan started using short run-up and bowled another beauty to get Mohit bowled and his off stump was disturbed. Amritpal walked in and didn't look comfortable from ball one and was caught by Ravi Shankar which was a blinder at Gully of Umair's Bowling. Umair was really hitting good line and length and was at his best. Sukhi was set up since he started being aggressive against his natural game. Caught at Backward Gully well caught by Ravi shankar. Score suddenly read 8 overs 29 for 4. CVCC struggling and game not over yet since Carmo yet to walkin and Ranveer who never give up yet to bat had some hope. Shahid walked in and played some good shots and scored 13 with 2 boundaries. Mihir the Magic Arm yet again started well and troubled CVCC batsman with good movement and control with the new ball. Hasan had to eventually walked out in pain to avoid further injury and Little Cheetah (ismail) came to help out in the field. Shahid was well caught by krish off a slash at backward point. Sunil was caught by another great peace of slip fielding by krishna who have the safest hands which any captain can rely on. Mihir got his second wicket byb now and score got to 43 for 6 wickets. Gurnek walked in at #7 and got bowled to Mihir after getting frustrated for 8 balls. He is a free stroke player and was unable to time anything lead to his downfall. Carmo and Rana Joined and as expected they put together a good partnership of 38 runs. Carmo at his best started attacking and got few boundaries and looked really set. Rana was settling down one end. Carmo got run out to a good piece of fielding by Rohit Patwari after 4 dot balls from Sujesh at the score of 86 in 25 overs. Gurjpal got LBW to Sujesh after scoring 8 runs but had a good partnership of 28 runs with Ranveer. Vicky was edging and nudging and got 4 runs. Ranverr hit some good shots to his favorite region of Long on and deep midwicket and got out Last by Karan of Prumjot's bowling. CVCC folded for 118 in 32.2 overs. SCCC Bees took at the catches which came their way and if they had put extra effort in 1 more catch off Gurjpal then CVCC wouldn't have crossed 100.
Game started before Lunch and played for 12 overs. SCCC started with a positive intent chasing down but cvcc was firing on all cylinders since they had no other choice to defend 118 on a good outfield. Ravi.s got out to a good Ball curving out from Gurjpal to a good catch at Gully who was hitting good areas and generating good zip. Rohit patwari walks in next and couldn;t cope up with the moving ball and tempo and got beaten by a ball which cut back in sharply from Gurjpal. Score read 11 for 2 in 5 overs. Dawood still there is plenty of hope. Krish Joined dawood and took the score to 20. Dawood got one which was very close moving down the leg but umpiring which was very consistent throughout the day have to go with his instinct and got LBW. This was a big blow for Bees. SCC bees suddenly 20 for 3 in 7 overs. Vicky from CVCC was bowling good areas and getting good movement. Prumjot Walked in Next and Looked really comfortable and played some scincillating shots. Krish was settling down to ensure his team is in safe hands and showed immense maturity to get the game through without any risks. Prumjot got out to a international level left handed catch by Mohit at Short cover of vicky's bowling. Suddenly some faces were dull and discussion started but the whole message was to enjoy the batting and take whatever comes and do 10 runs target at a time. Sujesh Joined Krish and should have taken the team through but got out to a bad ball getting a faint edge trying to cut a wide short slow ball after facing 5 balls to Wicket keeper Prabhjot. Vicky was licking his fingers with Prumjot and Sujesh out and bowled a beauty which swung a mile the very next ball and got krishna bowled. SCCC bees in trouble is what cvcc thought but they still had guys who can win games up their ranks. Score read 44 for 6 in 15 overs. Mihir Kanojia and krish had a steady partnership and just when things were going fine Mihir got trapped in front by Ranveer who bowls left handed dubbly dobblies with good control. They had a small 14 runs partnership. Score read 58 for 7 in 20 overs. Another 61 runs needed with 3 wickets in hand and krish batting Bees were in high hopes since CVCC started tiring down since it's already 20 overs and Main bowlers are tired and now the ball have gone old and easy to score of medium pace at SCCC wicket. Karan Jhavar who is playing his debut game for SCCC bees played a very instrumental role in stitching a 61 runs partnership to win the game. Not that SCCC Bees won without a drama. Karan played a tired shot with a lapse of concentration at a crucial juncture when Bees needed another 20 runs to win. Keeper, bowler and short extra cover fielder all called for it and finally the swapped new keeper dropped it misjudging it. 31 st over was a beauty Ball 1 - Beautiful pick up shot to midwicket boundary by krish, Ball 2 Straight into the trees at benton end picked off a lengtht walking into the ball. 3rd ball was Put over extra cover for 3 runs. 4th ball was perfectly played by karan for 2 runs and that's the end of it. Highlight was a Matured knock of 52 Not Out from krish Goel for his Patient and Watchful innings and taking load on his shoulder in a low scoring game where seniors failed. Kudos to krish for a great knock before he takes off for Under-18 US team.
Special thanks to Vijay Goel as always, Guru Maan, Shailu, Ranjit and his kids, Jagat and Mandeep for being there and supporting bees.
Awesome Job guys and way to go to keep it 5 wins and 3 losses and Give everyone a good hunt for their money playing against bees in A-Div. We continue having fun and enjoy every bit of it.
Thanks,
Sujesh Pulikkal

by 26 runs
Cardinals won the toss and elected to field in dessert heat at Tracy. Cardinals provided more than enough fluids to protect both teams from dehydration. SCCC Bees up against quality cardinals team started well with 40 for no loss in 11 overs. Tiredness costed Ravi.S and Dawood back to back. Ravi.S was caught by Anwar with a very sharp catch at Gully. Ganesh was his usual self swinging, seaming, skidding the ball on a good wicket. Krish got out to a beauty from Bilal who was consistently bowling good areas and getting good movement. krishna and Sujesh stitched in another good partnership of 30 runs and krishna got out trying to cut Bilal. Sujesh was bowled by Ganesh for 11 and suddenly score fell to 79 for 5 in 25 overs. Bowling was tight and cardinals gave nothing away. Purmjot and chandroday batted very sensibly and took the score to 109 in 35 overs. Chandrodaya fell LBW to Saleem. Kartik Joined prumjot and milked the cardinals bowling with 1s and 2s were most of the cardinals players were on the floor at one point. The heat was so high they could barely get up to drink water. Umpires were evry competent and were considerate to allow desired breaks to ensure none collapsed. Score was at 160 when Bees lost Kartik after a very good 28. Prumjot got out at 169 well caught by tushar at extra covers after a brilliant 35 and Bees lost 8 wickets at 48 overs. Rohit Patwari and Sameer played good agressive cricket and good running to take the score to respectable 181 for 8 in 50 overs. Bilal was the pick of bowlers. But ganesh, Saeed, Saleem and Zafar Supported Bilal Well.
SCCC Bees knew the task was tough against a bunch of guys who can clear any ground and few most expereinced batsman in the wings who can score big against any attack. First over Kartik bowled good four balls and a bang from Anwar which flew maybe into the orbit behind the keeper where we saw krishna running backward 20 yards and take a clean catch. Shock in disbelief by Cardinals. Raiyan looked tentative from ball one since kartik was getting good movement off the wicket and he edged to Dawood behind the stumps. Cardinals lost 2 wickets for 7 runs. Ajay Arora walked into bat and was joined by Saleem who looked in Omnious touch and in sublime form. Ajay Fell to a beauty which cut back in by Sameer. score 3 for 7. Saleem and Ganesh batted with so much caution. A tough catch at Mid-on spilled off Saleem got him into a different gear. Saleem carefully played against sujesh but was brutal for few overs after that. Suddenly from 7 in 3 in 5 overs Cardinals were sitting pretty at 84 for 3 in 19 overs. Prumjot was brought into the attack and got Ganesh out first ball when he tried to use the bowling power play. This was the much needed break for SCCC eventhough bowling were at it's best with not giving runs away. 5th wicket of Saleem Feel at the score 95 for a cracking shot against Mihir picked off the length to mid wicket which was hit at a rollicking speed was well caught by Krish. Nauman was settling in nicely. Adil came and didn't look like staying at the wicket and was unable to play prumjot and got out LBW. Tushar whoi has been in cracking form in the shorterb format walked into to bat with a swollen finger and was caught at slips off a slying edge by krishna who made it look simple. Spectacular Catching by krishna. Zafar was the most painful batsman to get out due to the real meaning of full face of the bat at all times and no intent to score. Nauman was cruising along ticking the score but run rate also started getting close to 6 runs per over and nauman was taking occassional risks which none went his way. Bees kept adding pressure on the field and took everything came their way. Nauman took the chance against Mihir who again was spot on with his length and a shot which could have gone for a six went straight and flat to Deep square leg where Krish took another excellent catch inches inside the rope which was the turning point. Saeed walked into bat and the whole league knows game is never over so long the big hitting Saeed is around for whom run rate is never an issue. Cardinals needed now 38 in last 6 overs. Sujesh came back and kept things tight one end along with krish and Zafar finally let loose against the best bowler Mihir and paid the price being well caught by Sameer at Mid-on. Prumjot Bwoled the 46 over when Cardinals needed 33 needed in 5 overs. Saeed hit one of the biggest sixes against the spin to deep midwicket but it was just one bad shot away. Bilal hit one down sujesh's throat at Long on against Prumjot and Bees won by 26 runs and 4 overs to spare. Great Hospitality by Cardinals and SCCC Bees much appreciate it. Chandrodaya, Kartik, krish and Sameer supported Prumjot very Well.

by 2 runs
Game of the year so far probably where UC warriors lost a thriller to SCCC Bees where they didn't give up and gave a fight to the last breath and held their nerves to take crucial catches. Game was exciting till the end until Srini's valiant effort of batting with one hand after a Finger Injury during the first innings taking a blinder at slips off Dawood. Bees elected to bat and Started with the loss of Prumjot on a soft dismissal against Jayavel 's bowling. Dawood Followed krishna after starting well scoring 12 runs. Krishna was nicely settling in and looked very confident playing Jayavel and ranveer. Umesh tried to sweep jayavel and got LBW. SCCC Bees now 47 for 3 in 12 overs. Sujesh and krishna stitched in a nice 56 runs partnership. Just when things were going really well and SCCC bees in good position there was a mix-up between krishna and sujesh and Sujesh got run out scoring 22. score read 103/4. Chandru followed the very next ball without facing a delivery with another mix-up with krishna. SCCC Bees really never recovered from there other than a brilliant innings from krishna who ended up with 56 and got out due the heat which was in the high 90s. Ravi.s Got out LBW to Happy who was bowling really well. Rohit patwari played a blinder and scored 20 runs off 25 balls and got out pulling a ball to the lone fielder at deep midwicket. Mihir. K got LBW to Naren who bowled in good areas with his left arm spin. Ganesh and Sushanth had a very valuable partnership of 12 runs to add for the last wicket since anything above 150 there is always a chance at SCCC.
After Lunch U.C Warriors started their proceedings with all season fire-works from rocky who always look like middling the ball from ball one. Rocky scored 12 in the first over bowled by Ganesh. ALl shots were played off good balls, Widish long off, covers, Long on. Naren was settling in at the other end with some crisp boundaries against krishna who opened the bowling with his off spinners. Naren hit a good length off the back foot where Prumjot took a good catch at Mid-on. Sujesh bowled a maiden to Rocky to start with and got him the next over mistiming a shot to covers where umesh held a good catch. The damage was done and U.C warriors were 40 in 7 overs. Mihir bowled a beauty and got Kiran edge the second ball where dawood took a very good catch standing up to the stumps. Ranveer walked in and chipped the first ball to short midwicket where the fielder misjudged the ball completely and dropped it. From then on Ranveer played some brilliant shots against the medium pacers to score his 50 even though he played out all good deliveries with respect. Jayavel started well and was middling the ball and playing with lot of confidence. He hit some good shots off prumjot to start with. Just when there was a 55 runs partnership going jayavel got out to Umesh edging the ball low where dawood kept his pads together and got stuck in between. Mihir kept asking questions and look like enjoying bowling to heavy weight U.C warriors batsman who can hit big shots against any attack. SCCC bees kept doing basics right by keeping the ball in good areas. Srikanth and Raju were playing really well. Sushanth was introduced just for 1 over in the 31st over and got Raju pull a ball straight to short fine leg. 143 for 6 in 30 overs. Srini walks in with a fractured Finger and showed lot of courage to do that. Srikanth was Middling the ball well and was finding Occassional gaps and waiting for his Strength ball to hit. Just when things were going alright a voice came from the pavilion "Srikanth Bhai maro aur khadam karlo" - It was Ranveer :) and SCCC bees owe him that wicket since srikanth went for a big shot and got LBW missing the ball completely from Mihir where it skid through. The disaster struck and Naveen batting with Srini look like game is on with Srini batting with one hand to drive everything. Naveen was under pressure to finish the game was hesitating to play shots with the field in completely. He got run out in a mix-up. 160 for 8 with 6 runs needed and 14 overs in hand. Sujesh Bowled a 1 run over and got Happy out on the 5th ball trapped in front. Last Ball Shesha walked in and the kid was nervous to the core to bat. Last ball Shesha defended and got away from a caught and bowled where the ball didn't carry. 3 runs needed and 1 wicket in hand. U.C warriors slowly started showing some nervousness on their faces since they had even stopped updating the score board thinking the game was over long ago. Srini on Strike Dot Ball, Uppish drive to extra cover almost a chance but went for 2 runs. Dot ball again. This time Srini want to finish the game quickly but one hope was that he was batting with one hand and if he use the other hand ball will pop-up. Prumjot bowled a quicker one and srini flicked the wrist since field was in and blessing in disguise it popped up straight to Square leg fielder Rohit Patwari who did no mistake. SCCC Bees win a thriller by 2 runs where U.C Warriors had 12 overs left. Great game of cricket

Ranveer walked in and chipped the first ball to short midwicket where the fielder misjudged the ball completely and dropped it. From then on Ranveer played some brilliant shots against the medium pacers to score his 50 even though he played out all good deliveries with respect. Jayavel started well and was middling the ball and playing with lot of confidence. He hit some good shots off prumjot to start with. Just when there was a 55 runs partnership going jayavel got out to Umesh edging the ball low where dawood kept his pads together and got stuck in between. Mihir kept asking questions and look like enjoying bowling to heavy weight U.C warriors batsman who can hit big shots against any attack. SCCC bees kept doing basics right by keeping the ball in good areas. Srikanth and Raju were playing really well. Sushanth was introduced just for 1 over in the 31st over and got Raju pull a ball straight to short fine leg. 143 for 6 in 30 overs. Srini walks in with a fractured Finger and showed lot of courage to do that. Srikanth was Middling the ball well and was finding Occassional gaps and waiting for his Strength ball to hit. Just when things were going alright a voice came from the pavilion "Srikanth Bhai maro aur khadam karlo" - It was Ranveer :) and SCCC bees owe him that wicket since srikanth went for a big shot and got LBW missing the ball completely from Mihir where it skid through. The disaster struck and Naveen batting with Srini look like game is on with Srini batting with one hand to drive everything. Naveen was under pressure to finish the game was hesitating to play shots with the field in completely. He got run out in a mix-up. 160 for 8 with 6 runs needed and 14 overs in hand. Sujesh Bowled a 1 run over and got Happy out on the 5th ball trapped in front. Last Ball Shesha walked in and the kid was nervous to the core to bat. Last ball Shesha defended and got away from a caught and bowled where the ball didn't carry. 3 runs needed and 1 wicket in hand. U.C warriors slowly started showing some nervousness on their faces since they had even stopped updating the score board thinking the game was over long ago. Srini on Strike Dot Ball, Uppish drive to extra cover almost a chance but went for 2 runs. Dot ball again. This time Srini want to finish the game quickly but one hope was that he was batting with one hand and if he use the other hand ball will pop-up. Prumjot bowled a quicker one and srini flicked the wrist since field was in and blessing in disguise it popped up straight to Square leg fielder Rohit Patwari who did no mistake. SCCC Bees win a thriller by 2 runs where U.C Warriors had 12 overs left. Great game of cricket

Rohit patwari had a small partnership with ketan and that's all Bees can feel good about after having a amazing first session doing everything right against a quality batting line up. Rohit. R and Sameer got 2 wickets each. Shantanu, Umar and manoj supported them well. Krish.
