Mavericks won the toss and elected to bowl. A good parthernship between Vijay S and Yogesh at the top allowed us to score at run a ball and took us to a score of 61/2 in 10 overs. Mudit and Yogesh were the batsmen to be dismissed at the half way stage. Yogesh hit 2 good fours behind the wicket in the second over bowled by Praveen and scored 12 (25b). Vijay S seemed to be in touch from ball one. He began by pushing the ball around for easy singles on either side of the wicket. Later on, he played some good strokes behind and square of the wicket on either side. He was caught off the bowling of Hanu just when he was looking to accelerate. Vijay S returned to the pavilion having scored a stabilizing 36 (38b, 1*4, 1*3) runs at the top of the order.
Parag (18*, 19b, 2*4) and Ramesh (20, 22b, 2*4) took a few deliveries to settle but added 45 runs in the last 6 overs to take the team to a score of 129/6 in 20 overs.
Ramesh B picked up Saurabh at point in the very first over of the chase. Anil N walked in and began with a boundary in the second over bowled by Abhishek. Anil N played with aggression at one end and Anil G played cautiously at the other to take the score to 49/1 in 10 overs.
Ramesh B picked up Anil G after the break. Amit K was introduced into the attack and deceived a couple of batsmen each in the second and third over of his spell to finish with excellent figures of 4-1-18-4.
The asking rate in the final 10 overs was high for the Mavericks but it did not deter Anil N from making a match of it. He hit many a flat and hard shot in the region from mid-wicket to long on and the area between long off and deep cover picking up six boundaries in an unbeaten knock of 64 (53b, 6*4). Mavericks finished with 112/9 in 20 overs losing by 17 runs.
Samir K did a fine job in utilizing 8 bowlers to defend a more than healthy target of 130 runs. Bowlers were provided an opportunity keeping up with trend of the chase. Vijay S with the bat and Amit K with ball made an impression on our side. Anil N played a lone hand and an aggressive unbeaten knock of 64 that took the Mavericks close enough so as to avoid any disappointment.
