We won the toss and elected to field in the 20 over game. The game began at Cypress Canyon Ground (Big) but had to be moved to Westview Parkway Ground(Upper) after the first 4 overs.
Hari and Ajay shared the first 8 overs with the new ball and between them picked up 3 of the top 4 batsmen. Gopal and Parag shared 4 overs but gave away a few runs between them. Regular bowlers Sam, Abhi and Vijay S returned later on and picked up the next 7 wickets between them. All catches that went to hand were collected. The top pick was the one held by Abhi at first slip as he stretched his hand back and held on to the ball even as he fell down.
The new opposition named Shadows was dismissed for a meagre 84 runs in 17.67 overs.
Abhi and Vijay S opened the batting but Yoga dismissed Abhi on only the second ball of the chase. Amit and Vijay S steadied the inning. The ground the match was played on was very uneven, devoid of grass, and was even dusty. Vijay S adjusted to the uneven nature of the pitch pretty well. Amit too seemed to have settled but was needlessly run out when he hit one straight to short cover and started off for a run but was sent back by Vijay S. Shekhar joined Vijay S and together they ran singles and twos to take us closer to victory. Vijay S was held in the deep on the off-side with a very few runs left in the chase. Vijay S made a valuable 30 (47b) and Amit contributed with 19 (26b, 1*4). Shekhar made way for Hari who hit one boundary and returned after being held at short mid-wicket. Rahul B and Ajay then stuck around to erase the short deficit. We thus won the game by 6 wickets and 15 balls to spare.
This win came as a relief after three successive losses to Sony. As expected we dominated the game against a new team without using available resources to the fullest.
