The match!

Heyiieee!
An update of past three days.

Remember the cricket thing going on in our circle and 5 teams from our unit being in the tournament. (dont remember...check for my previous post) Well! i was into one of the teams.. the name of our team -> Fusion maniacs..he he nice name.

It was saturday and the team turned up at the venue for the first match. The cricket ground was inside a club nearby the place where i stay. The ground was smaller than expected. We were expecting our opponent to be there so that we could start off the match (coz it was time) but the team didn't turn up so ended up winning without any effort. There was another team which was supposed to play instead they too ended up winning the same way as we did. The organizers (that's the HR guys) decided to have a friendly match between the two teams and guess what...WE WON IT! anyway that was a friendly one. Since we 'qualified' for the next round we had to play other qualified teams the following day.

Sunday, 11:00 IST

This time our opponent was ready. If we win this match we move on to the next else out of the tournament. Oh! did i mention that it was a KNOCK OUT tournament. We won this match with still 3 overs to go. Thanks to fantastic batting. The next match was immediate after 45 mins or so. just 45 mins break! and that too have to play under the hot sun...fuuurrr! Anyway the match got underway but this time we lost but by a whisker. The opponent team won the match with 2 more balls to go from the last over.

The play was good and interesting barring the heat of the summer.
