Teams

Naveed c, Mukund, Marut (common M1)
Kalpesh c, Ranjan

Match 1 : 2+1-P ; 5-Overs

Kalpesh XI: 8 all out (4 overs) Kalpesh 6 Naveed 2W
Naveed XI: 8 for no loss (5 Overs) Marut 4*
Result: Match tied

Report:
It was much harder to score runs as 3 fielders are cramped in the little scoring area. Then fun started during the chase. Marut scored 4 runs in the first 2 overs, Mukund scored 3 in the 3rd over. Two runs were needed in 2 overs. Marut bowled a maiden to Mukund and Naveed faced the last over from Kalpesh. With all his scoring areas are blocked by the restrictions, his big swings didn't connect the ball and failed to score the winning run!

Match 2 : 3-P ; 6-Overs

Kalpesh XI: 19/2 (6 overs) Ranjan 12* Naveed & Mukund 1W
Naveed XI: 9 all out (2.3 Overs) Naveed 6 Ranjan 2W
Result: Kalpesh XI won by 10 runs


Match 3 : 3-P ; 6-Overs

Naveed XI: 11 all out (2.5 Overs) Naveed 11 Ranjan 3W
Kalpesh XI: 15/2 (3.5 overs) Kaplesh 9* Mukund 2W 
Result: Kalpesh XI won by 1 wicket with 2.1 overs remaining

Match 4 : 3-P ; 6-Overs

Kalpesh XI: 27/1 (6 overs) Kalpesh 18* Mukund 1W
Naveed XI: 9 all out (3.2 Overs) Mukund 7 Ranjan 2W
Result: Kalpesh XI won by 18 runs

Report: Match 2, 3 & 4 are very similar. Kalpesh and Ranjan bowled beautifully to deny any scoring opportunities and Ranjan had caught & bowled opportunities at will. Naveed, Mukund & Marut found it very difficult to take singles. Kalpesh XI scored 5 boundaries overall to Naveed XI's one boundary sums it all.


Series Result :
Kalpesh XI Win 3-0
