Summary:

Batting: Falcons were put into bat in very windy and lost Rohit early to a seaming ball. Ruchir came in at one down to join Basit. The conditions for batting were tough and both of them took their time to settle in. Basit was in fine touch and was hitting the ball well. With the strong wind boundaries were very tough to hit in front of the wicket. Basit was very composed and confident throughout his stay. After reaching his 50 he raced into his 90's with some powerful hits to the fence. From 90 to 100 he played very sensibly and scored it in 1's and 2's. Basit and Ruchir got out in the 21st over trying to accelerate the scoring rate. The captain walks in and he made batting look easy. Humayun scored a brisk 26 of 15 balls. Chakri (15 not out) and Akash (13 not out) finished off the innings for the Falcons. We put up the best score of the season so far and ended up at 254/6.

Bowling:
Akash and Ayan started the bowling for us. Both of them struggled with consistency and were going at 5-6 an over. Falcons were desperately looking for a break though and Akash gave us two in 9th over. Anjan and Zubair took over from the quickies. Anjan had a rare off day and just managed one wicket. Zubair on the other hand was on fire. He mixed his fast one with faster ones ;) very well and ended up with 4 wickets in 5 overs. Other bowlers chipped in and we knocked out ACA in the 28th over for 146.

Good performance over all. We are getting better with each outing.

Ruchir.
