Quadrangular cricket series Winners :)

Had some terrific cricket played this weekend on Saturday. It was the Finals of the Quadrangular series that was going on between EFI, Genpact, Nokia and MakeMyTrip. With us in Finals with the Genpact (to whom we have already lost once in the same series a week earlier in the league match played) and the weather clearing up for the 8AM match after 2 days of heavy rains around Bangalore, it did become very exiting. We Elected to bat first after winning the toss. The openers played their part to deny any wickets to opposition in the first 5 overs. Though the score card took some beating for us it was a very good move to save some wickets. As we started to accelerate, we started to loose wickets and 2 were down before i went into the middle to bat for the rest of the 17 overs that were left. I did manage a 40 run score for myself helping the team to put up some 178 in total. Regular loss of wickets for our team prevented us from getting a huge total but it was respectable enough. When we started to bowl we got some important wickets in regular interval and our bowlers did some great work to restrict the opposition going after our target. A nail biting finish to the match was anyways there in the waiting as it seemed inevitable with us setting not so high total. And so, we got the Genpact team batsmen cleaned up at 172 runs and thus giving us a narrow 6 run victory... :)

I've a snap of my captain receiving the winner's trophy and i would post it here for you. But our team photo is with a teammate of mine and i am afraid that photo is going to make a late appearance in this space ;)
