Date & Time : 16th Apr 2011 : 8-15 AM To 11-30 AM : Season 5 : Play-Day No 1
Pitch & Conditions : A breezy & freezing cold morning started with -2C and went up to 7C with wind gusts up to 30 mph and felt like 0C throughout the day. A Wet Smooth Pitch, top crumbled after the first match, good bounce. Outfield Wet & Heavy. Max of 11 Players. Weather, pitch and ground resembled exactly the same where we left off on the final day of the last season 20th Nov 2010.
Teams
Naveed c, Mangesh, Swagat, Raj, Vipin, Shail (common M1 & M2)
Mukund c, Ranjan, Nathan, Parijath, Kalpesh
Match 1 : 4+1-P ; 9-Overs
Mukund XI: 44 all out (8.3 overs) Nathan 10 Shail 10 Naveed 3W Swagat 2W
Naveed XI: 25 all out (7 overs) Raj 5 Mukund 3W
Result: Mukund XI won by 19 runs
Report:
Mukund XI won the toss and elected to bat. Nathan and Parijath started off well in the 3 overs. Naveed bowled the 4th over with extra pace, got Parijath's middle stump in the first ball, Ranjan skied the second ball to Swagat at square leg who took a one handed catch. A wonderful effort given the freezing weather and no one can hold on to the simplest chances (Mukund dropped two behind the stumps and made Kamran proud!!). Nathan and Shail steadied the innings to post 44. Naveed XI didn't put a fight and crumbled to 25.
Match 2 : 5-P ; 10-Overs
Mukund XI: 41/2 (10 overs) Kalpesh 13 Parijath 11 Mangesh 2/9
Naveed XI: 36 all out (9.2 overs) Naveed 10 Raj 10 Nathan 2/6
Result: Mukund XI won by 5 runs
Report:
Mukund XI won the toss and elected to bat. Ranjan took a "sensitive" hit off Naveed's first ball. Kalpesh and Parijath see off Naveed's and Vipin's 4 scorching overs and put up a decent 41 in 10 overs. Naveed XI started steadily with Mangesh and Vipin - 14/1 in 3 overs. Vipin hit a rank bad ball to the bowler (Nathan) which was begging to be screamed over extra cover, a diving Nathan accepted the offer gleefully mid-pitch. Naveed and Raj played thoughtfully to bring the chase closer before Naveed skied a Kalpesh's delivery - 34/4 in 8.4 overs. 6 off 6 needed with the last man batting, Parijath bowled an in-cutter to peg Raj's off stump.
Match 3 : 4+1-P ; 7-Overs
Mukund XI: 32/3 (7 overs) Nathan 14 Parijath 8
Naveed XI: 25 all out (6.4 overs) Naveed 9 Raj 8 Nathan 2/5 Mukund 2/5
Result: Mukund XI won by 7 runs
Report:
Naveed won the toss and elected to field. Mukund XI scored in a decent pace with Nathan and Parijath milking 1's and 2's. Naveed and Raj opened the chase and got a terrific start off Kalpesh's over. Naveed reverse pulled for a boundary - 10/0 in 1 over. Mukund bowled the 2nd over, Naveed tried to scoop one behind the stumps, ball was quicker through the air, guided by batsman's legs and rattled the off stump. Vipin's watch ended when he fiercely hit one straight to square leg off Mukund. Nathan got one(Shail) to edge to the keeper and bowled one through Raj's gate.
Series Result :
Mukund XI Win 3-0
