Team Revivals v Lavanya All Stars
In the morning just before the match, the storm swept away the covers and a little rain made wicket tough to play. We were all set to cancel the match. However, both teams decided to play on the adjacent wicket which was used for open nets couple of days back. After an hour rolling, both the teams were ready to play. Would like to say big thanks to the captains and their entire team for making a match possible.
The match finally started after around 2 hours delay and Team Revivals opted to bat first. Lavanya All Stars bowlers found it tough to control the ball and didn't start well conceding numerous extras through wides. In the 4th over the finally found control and got three wickets in quick time. Analysing the wicket, captain Saurabh along with Shivam played with soft hands and kept rotating the strike. They knew that anything around 150 will be tough to get. And they were well on course to achieve that. But Ajay and Anubhav had other ideas, they played attacking shots from the outset and helped their team score 41 runs in the last 3 overs and took the team to 181.
Lavanya started well with Ishal who played some delightful shots. But didn't get much support at the other end as Revival bowlers bowled with tight line and length ably supported by their fielders. Apart from Ishal, only Abhishek and Sharad could manage to score in double figures. In the end Lavanya could only manage 124 from their 20 overs.
