STMicro vs DENSO : Luminous Cup'06

Tournament - Luminous Cup (Corporate Cricket) 2006

Match : ST vs DENSO
Date : 29th Jan., 06
Venue : AAI Ground, Palam
Toss : DENSO won the toss and elected to bat

It was a quite a hot and dry Saturday afternoon and DENSO won the toss and elected to make first use of the wicket which was looking like a belter. ST team was playing the third match of the tournament and looking to win this match convincingly, to secure a higher rank in the overall list of teams reaching the knockout stage.

ST Micro started the innings with their most trusted new ball bowler (Jeswani) along with Ashish Rudola, a quick leggie. Captain Bharat gave them relatively attacking field. Both the opening bowlers stuck to line and length from their respective first over and bowled some real beauties to unsettle the opponents. Ashish picked up a wicket on the very first ball he bowled.

ST's wicket keeper (Bharat) contributed for next two dismissals with one outstanding catch and a good stumping. Ashish bowled miserly and picked up the first 5 wickets to fall. Abhishek and Sudip came in as the bowling change. They bowled some tight overs and Sudip picked his first wicket of the tournament in his second over. Abhishek also picked two wickets in his quota of 5 overs giving away only 20 runs. Sudip picked another wicket in his spell and Ankur picked the last wicket to fall, with the help of an outstanding catch by Lalit.

With such a small total to chase , ST captain decided to sent two of his most attacking batsmen in the middle. Lalit and Bharat were sent in to complete the formalities , but there were no sign of nervousness or rustiness in their approach. The required total was achieved in just 7.4 overs with Bharat smashing 42 runs off 20 balls and Lalit making 19 off 18 balls. Bharat really looked in awesome touch and hit 8 fours in his short innings. ST lost 3 wickets in pursuit of winning the match as quickly as possible to better their net run-rate. In the end, it was turn out to be a one sided match with ST dominating the match throughout.

This is a very good sign for ST team in this edition of Luminous cup with all their bowlers in good rhythm and all their batsmen in relatively good form.
