STMicro vs AMEX GIO : Luminous Cup'06
Tournament - Luminous Cup (Corporate Cricket) 2006
Match : ST vs Amex GIO
Date : 18th Feb, 2006
Venue : Central Sectt. Ground
Toss : ST won the toss and elected to field
The 18th day of February, Central Sectt. Ground , it was a breezy morning with little bit of moisture on ground and lot of dryness and hardness on wicket , looking like a beauty of a wicket for batting and some help for seamers as well.
The morning wicket in this knock-out match was conducive for bowling. Said that, it still needs good balls to take wickets. Nitin Sharma & Mohinder Vij did not disappoint the captain in their opening bowling spell. In his fiery spell of 4 overs, Nitin was a little unlucky to bag any wicket, but his aggressive bowling which included a near fatal bouncer set the tone for the kill for the other bowlers. Vij on the other hand with his accurate and intelligent off spinners maintained the pressure. This was followed by an equally miserly spell by Sudip Basu & Abhishek Lal who bowled some real quick over between them and taking 3 & 2 wickets respectively. Rajesh Narwal bowled his quota of 5 overs and ended with 3 wickets.
The opponents scored only 122 runs in the allotted 25 overs. The fielding was upto the mark and keeping was equally good.
ST's batting was once again opened by Bharat Bhushan (captain) and Lokesh Pandey. After yet another early dismissal of Lokesh, in-form Sabyasachi Das joined Bharat. They were playing beautifully when Bharat got out after a quick 27 of 22 balls. Das was joined by the dependable Narwal and they took the score of ST to a zone of safety. Das got out , when less than 25 runs were left, trying to hit over mid off. He scored a good 25 of 29 deliveries.
Mudit Bhargava joined Narwal, but got out when just couple of runs were required for victory. Puneet Chawla joined Narwal who ensured there were no more hiccups and ST completed a comfortable victory by 6 wickets with almost 5 overs to spare.
Rajesh Narwal was adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-round match winning performance.
ST had yet again reached the Semis - 5 straight victories to reach this stage. Once again, this match showed that we are coming up as a team and we are in a position to lift our games and do a justice to our potentials and prove that we are a good team.
