cricket day 7

Today s match was do or die for both the teams.The winner will go to finals tomorrow. Before the start of the match there was a big set back for the chargers as one of their key bowlers Krishna got injured before the start of the match. Chargers won the toss and elected to bat first. As expected the chargers got off to a flyer. openers put on a 90 run stand. At the end of the 8 th over chargers were going great guns at 65 for no loss. Rahul reached his 50 in 11th over. It was a great innings by rahul full of flair and aggression, his partner mahesh also provided him with a great stand. Rahul got out soon after reaching his 50, he was run out. now it was mahesh s turn to press on the accelerator pedal. mahesh got out after playing a fine innings of 48 runs he was also run out. Today veerans were found to be lethargic in the field they dropped nearly 8 catches. The veerans were set a target of 136 in 15 overs highest score uptill now in the league.

Veerans got off too a decent start but bojja took a great catch to dismiss veerans captain Mukund in the 3rd over. Now it was turn of satish to give it back to chargers he started scoring at a brisk pace he reached his half century in 8th over. At the end of 8th over veerans were 64 for 1. There was a good stand between balaji and satish. At one point of time it looked as if satish and balaji will spoil the chagers party but again bojja got into action , a direct hit from square leg caught balaji short of his crease and he was back in the pavillion. Satish continued with his aggressive batting but man of the match mahesh got him caught behind by chargers captain bhargava. Satish scored 65 runs. Once satish got out chasing a mammoth total of 136 became hard for veerans to over power. Chargers won the match comprehensively by 25 runs, but they have to work on there fielding, like veerans they also dropped 4 catches in the field. Man of the match mahesh scored 48 runs and took 3 wickets.

Chargers will meet Maratha warriors tomorrow at 4.30 pm . I request every one including new students, to come and support their teams. Tomorrow is a new day and surely we have an exciting contest on cards between 2 great teams. Also tomorrow there is a surprise before start of the match.
