Tawuniya  Opened their innings with one of their regular opener who had his fifty in his last match with SIEMENS  , he was in a great touch scattering the balls to he boundary , on the Other end wickets started to fall slowly , Faisal Gondal did the first over but could not get his rhythm well finished with few wides , Talah , Asim , Rehan , Rehan Ulhaque & Kaiser did better in bowling and containing the score to 159 , 160 to win ,

Asim despite of his illness joined the squad to full fill his commitment did well in the bowling & contained their acceleration rate , Rehan Ulhaque did an excellent job behind the stumps , Talah contributed 3 overs all full power packed delivries put him with little worry on his back and prevented him to do the fourth over , he was conserving his enrgy for batting too , Sakthi did the last over with zero wides and only five run’s , he is doing the bowling nearly after a year , Fielding was excellent SIEMENS stopped what ever could be stopped , good fielding in long on where they run a lot to stop the boundaries ,

Anees was very active in the fielding in stopping boundaries & his quick response in stopping the second run’s was excellent , The opener who  earned his fifty again with SIEMENS was dismissed ( Run-Out ) by Anees , what a fantastic throw like a bullet from the gun quick throw to the keeper to put the hitter off the play ,

 

SIEMENS was posted a Target of 160 , Khalid a regular opener along with Rehan Raza Khan, opened the inning , It was excellent opening yielded 18 run’s of the first Over , But it did not last long when Khalid went after a in swinging good length ball which deceived him but not the stumps , Rehan Ulhaque was sent to fill Khalid space , he started to attack from the first ball earned 90 Run’s for his label & team , Once again Raza khan Rehan was bringing us back the memories of former Indian Captain Azharuddin with his classic strokes , he played a fantastic inning rotating strike superbly flicking the balls and did ensure team’s winning , He converted the one’s into twos great running between wickets , Raza Khan Rehan wanted to accelerate and seal the winning as much earlier in that aggression he lost his wicket , Kaiser who was away from play nearly more than a year was off the mark in the first ball with the cover drive fetching him 3 run’s , he supported  Rehan Ulhaque in rotating the strike and also finding some boundaries for himself too , With the loss of 2 Wickets SIEMENS sealed the winning in the beginning of 14th over , leaving Asim , Sakthi , Talah , Iqbal  Sir , Prabhu (C)  , Anees , & Faisal Gondal  still to bat , Talah was eagerly awating the chance to contribute in the batting too but Kaiser & Rehan Ulhaque didn't make any mistake and sealed the innings ,

 

Findings

      Sakthi who seems to get his touch back in bowling , a good come back with confidence , That over could have relived him from his previous condition where he delivered more run’s in extras ,

SIEMENS Team

Khalid Maruf , Sharjil  , Faruqi Ammar , Iqbal Sir , Rehan , Faisal Gondal , Sakthi , Prabhu (C), Balaji Thangarajan (WK) , Anees , Akbar Shariff

 

SIEMENS Won the toss & opted to bat first ,

 

SIEMENS Opened their innings with Khalid Maruf & Balaji , Balaji was dismissed earlier , Much early break for Kamraj XI , the batsman who came next Sharjil , Ammar & Rehan who added few run’s to Team total were also dismissed in the same fashion when they attempted to drive the short pitch balls & caught behind , Akbar who came next was seen to be more attacking got few boundaries but went after a short pitch bouncer which lead to fall of his wicket which was caught in mid off , Prabhu was caught behind in the similar fashion when he attempted for a short delivery , Khalid wanted to accelerate the score but lost his wicket for a Yorker finding the stumps which he missed to connect , Sakthi was running between the wickets some bad calls could have costed his wicket nearly 4 times they missed his wicket in run-out , faisal Gondal with great form drived the ball across the boundary line added few more Runn's to Team Total , which did not last long when a bad call from Sakthi costed his Wicket , Annes replaced Faisal added few more runs’ , Sakthi in the final over seems aggressive due to the comments received over Faisal’s run-out , His tensions were relived with few boundaries which lifted the score to 140 , 141 to Win was the Total posted  to Kamraj XI , Still to bat Iqbal Sir ( Only )

 

Kamraj XI Openers were quite very aggressive against the low total & devastated the balls in all directions , Akbar , Khalid , Sharjil , Ammar , Rehan ,  Faisal  tried to restrict them but unsuccessful  , Sharjil , Faisal & Rehan contained well but t , Akabr took a beautiful catch near the boundary line Anees did his ever First over with -0- wides and a wicket , Good Keeping from Balaji took few catches behind and stopped few runs’ , but could have put more efforts on few catches which were low to reach , Sakthi missed two catches and took the last one on Anees over , Finally Kamraj XI won the Match effortlessly in 14th over ,

 

Lessons Learned

      Never Give-up at any stage

      Batting point of view – Total collapse

      Fielding – Could have been done much better like previous matches , few Catches dropped , few mis-filedings , ‘ Right man on the Right Place

      We weren’t attacking them either in Bowling or in fielding ,

      Usage of right bowlers too , would have slowed them

 

Findings

      Anees – a Partime bowler could be improved further

 

 

Funny Comments ( posted as requested )

SIEMENS Team

Sharjil (C) , Khalid Maruf , Faruqi Ammar , Faisal  Musthafa   , Rehan , Anees , Talah , Sakthi , Iqbal Sir  , Prabhu , Balaji Thangarajan & Akbar

 

SIEMENS Won the Toss & Opted to bat first ,

The regular opener Khalid  Maruf was bit late on picking co Players from Hara , so Prabhu & Sakthi was sent to open the Match Prabhu gone for none allowing the slower leg side delivery for wide but the ball took a vague turn to kiss the Leg Stump , Sakthi who was backed up with his previous match performance was playing confidently , but did not last long caught in Mid-on , he was previously dropped in the first ball in the second over , Rehan replacing Sakthi , Anees replacing Prabhu were scoring quiet below their capabilities holding their wickets , Anees trying to speed up lost his wicket allowing Tallah to the crease , Tallah & Rehan played sensibly till the tenth over bring the score up to 75 , which was quite low  ,  Talah could not connect the ball mistiming due to the ball was travelling slow after pitching coupled with wind factor too , Rehan broke his patience & started to attack each & every ball lost his wicket in the spree of making runs’ , Faisal Musthafa who replaced Rehan was timing well his power packed shots mailed the balls out of the stadium , he hit the maximum sixes , which made him the top scorer among SIEMENS & Azeem XI , Talah tried and successfully planted boundaries , He lost his wicket for accelerating the scoring rate , Faisal nearly 50 Runs’ was caught in the boundary line , Akbar , Khalid who were sent in the tail end were all caught quiet before the boundary line , did their best to hit  , Ammar & Sharjil in the were in the last two over’s dragged the  Team score to cross the 150 mark with the quick singles , doubles , in the last over Ammar hit a couple of boundaries & a sixer  which helped the tem to put a pretty low decent total of 154 off 16 Over’s , Iqbal Sir , & Balaji still to Bat ,

 

Azeem Openers Their openers gave them a steady start till Faisal Musthafa  took the first wicket of the match , then Talah , Sharjil , Ammar , bowled well to pick their main wickets , Excellent work behind the stumps from Balaji Thangarajan, He ensured two wickets’ beautifully holding the two catches two catches putting Azeem Xi in defensive mode , They were gaining runs’ in all the over’s especially the left Hand Batsman were their last hope pulled the balls despatched over the boundary line for six , Tallah bowling was accurate with few Yorkers yielding him a wicket , Ammar did not get his rhythm well did with few wides , could be carried away due to wind factor , Over all nice performance from Azeem XI leading them to Win the match ,

A catch could have been caught on the boundary line which was pulled strongly by the Left Hand Bat’s man which was chased by Prabhu & finally it kissed hardly Prabhu’s finger when he tried to reach it , then smashed on the fence , A powerful shot from the lefthander ,
