Inferno v Mewat Royals
Mewat Royals needed to make a comeback with the bat after their last match loss to Gurgaon Warriors. Raj Butt the captain lead from the front cracking boundaries from the very first over. However, his partner at the other end struggled to even score at run a ball which kept the scoring rate in check. After losing the openers, Mewat Royals did not have any answer to fine bowling by Inferno bowlers and found it tough to set a competitive score. Only Shahid with a couple of big hits in the end could help take team total to 134. With rain looming, both the teams knew of a curtailed match which could well be decided by DLS method. Mewat started brilliantly conceding just 14 runs off the first 3 overs and taking a wicket. We needed minimum 5 overs to get a result, in which case Inferno needed 12 from 12 without losing a wicket. In the next couple of overs Mewat dropped couple of catches and Inferno batsmen Ashwin and Karan made full use of it. The rain came at the end of 8th over. The target in this case was 44. Inferno by then had scored 67 for 2.
