Team composition: Naveed selected players in Pakistan way - strong bowlers who can bat, Mukund selected players in Indian way - power packed batting line up (Aamir, Rajesh, Naveen & Subu) who can bowl.
Match 1 : 6-P ; 7-Overs
Mukund XI: 40/3 (7 Overs) Rajesh 20*
Naveed XI: 35 all out (6.5 Overs) Kalpesh 10 Aamir 2W
Result: Mukund XI won by 5 runs
Report:
Naveed won the toss and opted fielding. Though players are drafted in the teams, they are late to the field and trickled as the match progressed. Swagat fell caught & bowled to Siva at the end of the first over. Rajesh and Mukund steadied the innings to post 40 in 8 overs.
Vivek and Ranjan opened the chase, scored decent to put 13/0 in 2 overs. Ranjan guided a Mukund's low full toss direct to the middle stump and Aamir's direct hit sent Vivek to the pavilion! Kalpesh and Naveed kept it going until Aamir's accurate bowling see them short of 5 runs.
Match 2 : 7-P ; 12-Overs
Naveed XI: 64/3 (12 Overs) Ranjan 18* Bala 2W
Mukund XI: 58/6 (12 Overs) Naveen 26* Nathan 2W Naveed 2W
Result: Naveed XI won by 6 runs
Report:
Naveed won the toss and opted to bat this time. Kalpesh and Ranjan raced away in the first couple of overs. Bala's leg cutters put pressure on them, but they scored a decent 64 in 12 overs.
Aamir and Subu opened the chase. Nathan's dolly sparked Aamir's eyes to see only Naveed at deep square leg boundary. They ended up 17/5 in 5 overs, with no further hope and facing a big margin defeat, Naveen and Bala revived the chase with some clean hitting and quick singles. Too many dot balls costed them the match and they ended up 7 short of the target.
Match 3 : 7-P ; 12-Overs
Naveed XI: 56/4 (12 Overs) Vivek 11 Kalpesh 11 Ranjan 18* Aamir 2W
Mukund XI: 41 all out (8.5 Overs) Naveen 18 Subu 15 Siva 3W
Result: Naveed XI won by 15 runs
Report:
Naveed won the toss and opted to bat. Anil and Vivek opened the innings and struggled against Bala and Aamir. Vivek hit to deep mid-wicket boundary to see Naveen plucked a one-handed catch out of a sixer. Nathan, Ranjan and Kalpesh batted sensibly to score 56 in 12 overs.
Aamir and Subu opened the chase. Aamir hoicked Ranjan's outside off delivery straight to the Vivek who was place for this shot at an unconventional field placing between deep mid-off and deep cover. Subu's sensible batting and Naveen's ferocious hits got the team to 31/1 in 5.2 overs and all hell broke loose in a Siva's over - Mukund top edged a wide one on the leg to the keeper, Subu edged on the off to the keeper and Bala misread the turn and saw the sticks shattered to a beautiful leg cutter.
Match 4 : 5+1P ; 8-Overs
Subu XI: 43/4 (8 Overs) Vivek 27*
Rajesh XI: 44/2 (7.4 Overs) Naveed 14* Bala 10* Naveen 10*
Result: Rajesh XI won by 4 wickets with 2 balls left
Report:
As some players left after the award ceremony, teams are reshuffled and include the guest photographer Aditya as a common player.
Subu won the toss and elected to bat first. Subu XI kept losing wickets but the lone wolf Vivek didn't budge till the end, hitting two sixes off Rajesh.
Naveed, Bala and Naveen chased the target with calculated ease.
Series Result :
Naveed XI Win 2-1
Rajesh XI Win 1-0
