UCOL Bowlers Shut out Valley Boys in Rapid Time

Valley Boys had played some good cricket leading up to this match, although they hadn’t been able to put together a consistent enough performance to register a win. They hoped for better in this quarter-final match, but were completely overpowered by a strong UCOL bowling attack.

Sajid, Waseem Sofi and Wasin were all removed by seamers Amanjeet and Dinesh in the Power Play overs to give UCOL the early advantage. Dinesh in particular bowled an excellent spell of accurate seam bowling up front, and Valley Boys never recovered from the early hits. When off-spinner Aman Kangra clean bowled Saurav off a delivery that turned sharply into the batsmen, it started a sensational collapse in which Valley Boys lost their last 7 wickets for 9 runs to fold up for 53. Left-arm spinner Sanjay Saini delivered a spin master-class, grinding Valley Boys to a halt with his deadly cocktail of flight and turn. He returned figures of 3.3 – 2 – 4 – 2. He was well supported by off-spinner Sandeep, who returned with figures of 2 – 1 – 7 – 3.

UCOL sailed past the target of 54 in under 5 overs, Jerry knocking off 34 in 13 balls. Sanjay Saini walked away with the Man of the Match award for his spell of left-arm spin.

Naveen and Vivek Earn Flamin Starz their First Win

Both teams came into this game looking to reverse loosing trends, and on paper it was a close one to call. Both have some solid players, but it was the Flamin Starz batsmen who came to the party in more commanding fashion. They were set up perfectly by their bowling unit, which pulled off an excellent containing job in the last 8 overs, after Satish’s crucial direct hit sent back an in-form Deepak Yadav.

Pavas (r) was the Best Performer for Yes Bank
Manik began the day in style for Yes Bank, crashing a straight six off Rishab first ball of the match. Rakshit finally had him dismissed, caught by Luv in the 5th over, but Manik’s opening partner was in no mood to stop. After a watchful start, he unleashed a couple of sixes – one over extra cover off seamer Anil in the 9th and another over mid-wicket in the very next over off off-spinner Luv. At 83 / 2 at the halfway mark, Yes Bank looked poised for a total in excess of 175.

Deepak Yadav looked to be in an aggressive mood, punishing boundaries off Anil and Dipen before a mis-understanding with Pawas had him stranded mid-pitch, only to watch Satish complete a pin-point accurate direct hit. His 12th over dismissal against the run of play turned the tables. Flamin Starz established their advantages only 4 balls later, Pawas solid knock of 37 terminated by an excellent running catch by Rakshit at deep cover.

From that point on, Flamin Starz tightened the noose with disciplined medium pace bowling. The highlight was Hoshiyar’s 19th over in which he picked up the wicket of Dixit and conceded a mere 2 runs. But for Sumer’s late hitting (27 not out), Yes Bank would have struggled to reach 150. he slapped a couple of sixes over long on, off Naveen and Rakshit in the 17th and 20th overs respectively to end the innings on a bright note.

Naveen (l) was the MoM for his all-round effort
After a couple of batting collapses, it was expected that Flamin Starz would be a bit edgy beginning their chase. They betrayed no signs of nerves, though, as Deepak and Naveen began with a strong of boundaries. Naveen stroked 3 boundaries in the first two overs, before Deepak picked out the ropes 4 times in 5 balls. The spell began as he lifted Dixit over covers and mid-wicket in the 4th over, before plundering a straight drive and guiding a glance off consecutive Kumud deliveries in the 5th. Although he edged the very next ball to the wicket keeper, there was no stopping Flamin Starz now.

With the ball coming on to the bat, Yes Bank’s predominantly medium-pace attack clearly suited Naveen and Vivek. The duo stroked 17 boundaries and 5 sixes between them, scattering their shots all round the park. The fast outfield only served to compound Yes Bank’s trouble. The 10th over was the most productive for the batting side, as Naveen hoicked two boundaries over mid-wicket interspersed by a pull for six.

Flamin Starz raced away to their target in the 14th over, and while Vivek’s innings of 64 not out (32 balls) was the highlight of the batting effort, it was Naveen’s all-round contribution that earned him the Man of the Match award. He backed up his spell of 18 / 2 in 3 overs with a solid 58 not out. For Yes Bank, Pawas was the Best Performer for his knock of 37.
