| Captain | Akbar Shariff | | Adeel |
Welcome to Siemensksa.blogspot.com,
SIEMENS Team members were on time as requested , DAR Engineering Team was slowly being assembled , the Toss was done by Akbar & Raj Kumar , DAR Won the Toss & Elected to Bat first ,
A small change in the SIEMENS team , Ammar went to Umrah , Mr. Iqbal declined the request at the last moment due to personal reasons so Asim Qayeem was requested to join the team ,
The SIEMENS bowling attack was started by the Captain Akbar himself , usually Azeem starts the attack , to the contrary Captain with full confidence started the Over a nice start from SIEMENS , Rehan who did the second over got a Yester year Hitter Raj Wicket a Wonderfull Catch by Sakthi , For Sakthi it happens a few times , but bad luck Raj , Then Asim Qayeem did a pretty decent over controlling the boundaries & picked two main wickets Adeel & Amir Malik , Adeel Qureshi who did two Over’s with a wicket did only 5 Wides a good come back , great improvement in his bowling , Khalid was called in the last who did a decent over for 8 Runs which including a six in the last ball , Azeem did his first over in a decent manner but the second could not be contained two catches been missed in his over one by Sharjeel & the other by Prabhu , Sharjeel did a over which was plundered by Saleem & Amir Malik two set Hitters , With all the best bowling efforts by SIEMENS , DAR Engineering managed to put a Defensive Total of 157 / 16.0 Over’s ,
SIEMENS Opened their Batting with Khalid & Sakthi , in the view of strategy that One hitter & non-hitter , but on the contrary the strike was not rotated properly , the X Captain Sakthi was missing the balls & failed to rotate the strike , The pressure build up on Khalid to meet up the required RR , When he started to accelerate he lost his wicket for 12 Runns , which includes a fantastic four in the Off-side , SIEMENS Lost their Main Wickets , Khalid Misses his Fifty for the second time , Then the Wickets started to fall continually , Prabhu ( 5 ) evaded his hatrik duck , Rehan who was the next big hope ( 4 ) , Sharjeel ( 34 0 , his consecutive form in the last two matches has pulled the team from the rock bottom loss , Akbar played sensibly but not enough to meet the target ( 21 ) , Asim Qayeem who did his best in the bowling , tried to accelerate the score but Amir Malik bowling was pretty good to control him for 13 , Anees ( 2 ) & Balaji ( 2 ) Not out last standing batsman ,

Things Noticed ,
SIEMENS Team were assembled in the Field for more than from 7:00 Am , were all kept waiting to start the match , finally Match Started at 7:25 AM , The Captain has worked more in forming the strategies rather than applying it at the earliest , the sluggishness in implementation takes off the interest of the players , Some good moves in the planned batting order & few bad decisions from captain , Which are coupled with overconfidence & Misfielding at the end by the major team members had brought the team rating down , Finally a bad inconsistent batting line-up from SIEMENS had led them a way to lose the match with a Difference of 27 Runs , DAR they deserve the victory , a few disturbances in the middle , all in the Game , Let us see what the SIEMENS Team will do with Areva team on 22/Nov/2012 ,
Let’s wait & See
