Blazers v/s Veterans. July 25 2009. Match 17.
A power packed innings from Manohar resulted in a win for the Blazers in a tight last over finish. The Veterans and Blazers gave an impressive performance but Manohar's innings made the difference.
The Veterans were put in to bat by the Blazers. Shiva looks to be like Sehwag for the Veterans as He hit 2 big sixes again, one in the very first over. He made a quick fire 17. Rajesh and Radha formed a good partnership and both top scored for the Veterans with 26 runs. Both hit some amazing shots over square leg and mid wicket. Rajesh hit 3 fours and a six, Radha hit 2 sixes with one four. The Veterans scored a challenging total of 90 runs in their 10 overs.
The Blazers started with Dennis and Ramesh. Ramesh, minus his usual business formal dressing this time, started with a bang as He hit a big six over square leg. He followed that with another six and Blazers were right on track. Dennis played his part and hit a huge six over mid wicket region and the game was going away from the Veterans. But Dennis was out in the deep and now 47 were needed of the last 4 overs. Manohar came to the crease and started hitting the ball well. He took 22 runs of the 7th over over as the game changed completely. Now only 25 were needed of the 3 overs and the Blazers made sure they didnt lose the plot. Manohar made 37 not out and was well supported by Harish who made 9. But the credit should also go to Ramesh who made a brilliant 20 under pressure conditions along with Dennis, who made 21. A complete team performance from Blazers as they emerged victorious in a tense finish, by scoring 91 in 9.4 overs.
