Naveed XI: 51/4 (9 Overs) Nathan 20* Naveed 15 Kalpesh 2W
Result : Anil XI won by 6 runs
Report:
Anil won the toss and elected to bat. Swagat and Marut started decently by picking 1's and 2's until a Nathan's throw caught Marut short of his crease. Rajesh and Anil dealt in 3's. Rajesh went berserk moved the score from 30/2 in 6 overs to 57/4 in 9 overs including a 6 & 4 in the last over.
Kalpesh and Naveed opened the chase with a similar kind of hitting, scored 21/0 in 2 overs. From there, they lost the plot and left Nathan stranded at one ended. Nathan battled as an one man army till the end but scored in singles. Rajesh & Marut bowled to Nathan's strength outside off, due to heavy outfield, every shot got him only 1D behind the cover fence.
Match 2 : 5-P ; 9-Overs
Anil XI : 42/4 (9 Overs) Naveen 34* Naveed 2W
Naveed XI: 30 all out (6 Overs) Nathan 10 Swagat,Marut,Naveen,Anil 1W
Result : Anil XI won by 12 runs and 3 overs left
Report:
Anil won the toss and elected to bat. Naveed bowled a terrific maiden over in which he accounted Anil and Swagat for a duck. They scored 5/3 in 3 overs and 17/4 in 5.1 overs. Naveen as a last man took full toll of the dropped catches and missed run outs. Naveen defended and popped a Ranjan's delivery, ball fell an inche short of the short-cover Mukund, batsman was way out of his crease, an easy throw to the keeper could have done the job, Mukund not trusting his infamous wide-throws, wanted to take the bails off by himself and almost did. Fielders were inconclusive of the runout, with no UDRS!, benefit of the doubt went to the batsman.
Ranjan and Nathan opened the chase. Swagat and Anil bowled well to restrict them and put pressure. Naveed XI caved in easily despite Naveed promising everybody that he won't play the reverse sweep given the situation his team is in, violated his promise and lost the middle stump to a Naveen's full and straight deleivery.
Match 3 : 3+1-P ; 7-Overs
Naveed XI: 30 all out (6.4 Overs) Anil 12 Swagat 2W
Naveen XI : 17 all out (6.1 Overs) Swagat 12 Mukund 2W
Result : Naveed XI won by 13 runs and 5 balls left
Report:
Naveed won the toss and elected to bat. With only 7 players, runs were allowed only in front of two edges of the fence. Naveed and Mukund went early. Nathan and Anil(common) revived the scoring. Rajesh's throw(direct hit) from deep midwicket caught Nathan Off-guard on his second run.
Chasing an easy 31 in 7 overs, Rajesh lost his leg stump for a Naveed's scorching yorker off the first ball, Naveen mistimed off Mukund, Anil hit straight to Rajesh at mid-on. Swagat's little cameo ended when he misjudged Mukund's full toss to see his leg stump uprooted.

Anil XI Win 2-1
