Matchday
2 was once again a Saturday, and we had two matches – West Warriors vs CSCA,
and DIT vs Globex International. This time both the games were really close,
and once again, they featured a couple of standout performances!
Match 1: West Warriors vs CSCA
CSCA
won the toss and elected to bowl first. The grass on the wicket probably
explains why teams have so far opted to bowl first.
However, we maintain that
the wicket is a great batting track, and the 348 runs scored in this match
established that. The decision backfired for CSCA as they conceded 180 runs and
then narrowly lost by a margin of 12.

Match 2: DIT vs Globex International
DIT
and Globex faced up for their second match each in this tournament. Having lost
their first match, DIT knew that they needed a solid performance against a
strong Globex team.
Globex International won the toss and elected to bat, and
they posted an imposing 185 runs from their 20 overs. DIT, however, came out
strongly, led by a dashing 78 from their opener Vinay. Then with 18 needed from
the final over, the first ball was hit for a six! The end was anti-climatic,
though, with only 3 runs coming from the last 5 balls. DIT fell agonizingly
short by 8 runs.
