Match 1 : 12 Overs : 7+1 Players
Ranjan won the toss and elected to bat ( does anybody ever bowl first?) Naveed gave up twice as many runs ( Aamir batting) in his first over as he had given in all 5 overs last week (9) Despite losing Kanan for a duck Aamir & Shail had the score at 25 at mid point . Aamir was run out in a strange fashion ,Shail called for run to mid on where Naveed was fielding , Aamir didnt respond and the 2 batsman were almost at the same end , then Naveed misfielded and they completed the first , Shail called for the second to which Aamir responded late and this time Naveed throw caught him short as Vivek took off the bails . The innings later faltered but late comer Viral on his season debut hit a few shots to get the score to a par 48 . Kalpesh team reply was steady but slow . Only 3 came of the first 3 overs , though no loss of any wicket . Marut got out after hitting a 4 to Shiva ...The Vivek took over an hit two lusty blows off Shail to mid off for 4 . But Shail had the last word uprooting the off stump the next ball . But it was 29 in 6 overs and 4 wickets left , an easy target . But things started to unravel .. Naveed hit a reverse sweep for 4 but was bowled a few balls later round the wicket in Aamirs Over . Parijat and Ranjan bolwld 2 tight overs and off the last ball of the 8th Aamir had the leg stump flying off a DHRO from Short Mid Off ( Venkat ) Suddenly panic set in ...Viral lost his middle stump off Kannan , who is becoming impossible to get away , trying a wild swipe ( Over No 10) . Shail came in to bowl the 11th over with 5 needed to win ..and opposite was Mangesh the great finisher of last week . But instead of using his head, after 2 dot balls , he went for glory and skied the 3rd ball high to mid one : Aamir calmly took the catch to seal a famous win . A great fielding performance
ScoreCard
Ranjan XI : 48 All Out (11 Overs) Aamir 10 Shail 13 Viral 15 Kalpesh 2W
Kalpesh XI : 44 All Out (10.3 Overs) Marut 10 Vivek 12 (2x4) Shail 2W Aamir DHRO
Ranjan XI Win By 4 Runs With 9 Balls Left
Match 2 : 13 Overs : 7 Players
Trying their luck again this time batting first Kalpesh XI as always started slowly . Only 6 runs came in the first 4 overs but it was due to great bowling with Kalpesh and Vivek both bagging ducks ( both clean bowled: for some reason wickets were flying all over the place today) It looked bleak at that time but Mangesh who must have been regretting his choice of shot in the last match became a one-man rescue act and with a flurry of ones and twos started reviving the innings .By the 10th over he had taken the score to 46 : Sanjay on season debut hit Viral for almost a 6 to fine leg and then like Vivek lost his middle stump the next ball . But Mangesh held firm at one end and ended the innings on high with a 4 to mid on off Parijat , He remained unbeaten at 29 the highest score of the season so far . The final score of 58 could be called formidable and was the highest on the ground this season . Ranjan XI first 6 overs were bizzare to say the least . Only 2 came of the first 2 with the loss of wicket (Shive for Duck) Then Ranjan came and all hell broke loose . Aamir/Ranjan took 36 off the next 3 overs including 6 cracking 4s ( All to cover and point region except one) Vivek was hit for 3 of those and Mangesh 2 .This onslaught took the wind out of the attack Then Naveed came back to claim Aamirs scalp with a wicket maiden . So 3 of the first 6 overs had yielded 2/2 and other 3 bled 36/0 . Even losing Ranjan & Shail later in thes same over to Sanjay didnt dent the chase. The RRR was low and Kannan hit the winning shot in the 11th over when all the field was up to stop the single . A comfortable victory in the end
ScoreCard
Kalpesh XI : 58/6 (13 Overs) Mangesh 29* (2x4) Shail 2W
Ranjan XI : 59/5 (11.3 Overs) Aamir 15 (3x4) Ranjan (3x4) 21 Viral 15 Sanjay 2W
Ranjan XI Win By 2 (of 7) Wickets With 9 Balls Left
Match 3 : 8 Overs : 5+1 Players
Trying to avoid a whitewash Kalpesh team batting first again in the truncated last match . True to their form the crept to 7 in 4 and later 13 in 5 overs . Eventually Vivek gave some impetus with a couple of boundaries and some hits from Shiva took the score to fighting 36 . Then we saw the best fielding of the day and maybe the season . Aamir had hit a shot to cover off Naveed whole ran off his own bowling to field ..sensing a second ran Aamir tried to make his ground but direct throw from Naveed hit the stumps catching him short of the line . So this was his second run out and in both cases Naveed was involved . Only Shail offered any real resistance who scored 15 . But somehow they were always behind the rate . Despite getting to 20 in 5 overs they couldnt get the final push needed . Kalpesh bowled a very tight last over where 7 were needed for victory .The batsmen ( Kannan & Shiva) couldnt get the bolwer away : Only 2 came off the first 5 balls and a 6 was needed to win off the last , Kannan hit stopped short of the mid off boundary and he only ran 1 as anything less than 4 was a loss . The final margin was 3 runs . A good fight back by the bowling side to seal a parting win

Aamir XI : 33/4 (8 Overs) Shail 15 Naveed 2W & DHRO
