Venue: Babukhan ground
Teams: IBM vs WIPRO
Match Result : IBM won by 4 wickets
Man of Match: Aquib who scored 42 runs and took 2 wickets giving 11 runs in 4overs.
Batting first wipro were bundled out for a score of 100/10 in 19.5 overs. IBM bowlers (Narein and Hameed) took advantage of whatever assistance their pace bowling line up could get from pitch. Early dismissals of front batting line up of Wipro kept the team on back foot (19/2 in 4 overs). Later batsmans Sreedhar and Gopal kept the rate at 4 an over at the end of 10 overs,not taking any risks and hoping one of them plays entire 20 overs. Once again bowlers Ravi(1/13 in 3 overs),Aquib (2/11 in 4 overs),Sai (1/10 in 4 overs) ,Madhav(0/8 in 1 over) did a good job. Wipro batsman Gopal who played some good shots on the onside was bowled out in power play over and some extra runs and catch drops in middle relieved pressure from wipro batsmans.
With target as 101 on board, IBM batsmans Aquib and Savi once again gave solid start to the team (50/0 in 7 Overs). Aquib played some powerful shots on the offside which left no chance for fielder at point or cover region to cut down those boundaries. At other end Savi timing the ball well,played cautiously by not indulging in any risky shots. At the end of 8 overs IBM were 72/1. Just when everyone was thinking that match could be finished in next 3 or 4 overs, Aquib got run out at 42. With new batsmans at crease, wipro bowlers Gopal,Ganga,Arun,Sreedhar bowled some tight spells by not giving any width for batsman to free their arms. At the end IBM managed to reach the target 101/6 in 17th over and 4 wickets remaining. Man of the match was awarded to "Aquib" for his brilliant allround performance with both bat and ball.

Top class cricketing spirit from Shiva (Zen Technologies)
Here is the example how HSCL2 is being governed with excellent cricketing spirit.
In the second round of match between Wipro and Zen Technologies, here was an instance when Shiva from ZenTech, who caught a catch at the boundary, but declared it as six in very true spirit of the game, as his foot went just probably few inches into the boundary line.
It was such a close decision, match was precariously placed at 20 required off 14 balls. Had he told umpire as catch, umpire will go with his word and match result would itself have been different.
We really appreciate such gesture by him.
Well done Shiva.
Our special appreciation to you and Zen Technologies team for making HSCL as a winner rather Wipro Team.

Trianz started climbing the ladder
Match Summary:
Date: 13-Nov-2011
Ground: Swamy Narayan Gurukul
Teams: NCR vs Trianz
Toss - Won by NCR and elected to bowl
Trianz Batting: 138/9 in 20 overs.
NCR opened the bowling attack with a magical spell from Suryavir swinging the ball in either directions.Suryavir claimed his first wicket of a magnificent in-swinging delivery getting the batsman bowled of his second ball.The very next ball was also a wicket with mid-stump out of ground with another in-swinging delivery.The batsman had no clue in connecting the ball and suryavir was almost unplayable in his initial overs. However,Srikanth(opener) continued to stay clam and stuck at one end driving the odd balls to fence and entertaining the crowd. He was intelligent enough in rotating the strike where he continued ticking the Trianz Scoreboard inspite of wickets falling at the other end. Suryavir continued the magic spell picking another 2 wickets in his second over leaving Trianz at 25/4 after 4 overs.He completed his dream spell with excellent bowling figures of 5/18 in his 4 overs.Srikanth was middling the ball good and was very comfortable in rotating the strike and taking calculated risks.Suryavir claimed his final victim for an LBW which was plumb in-front where Trianz lost half-of their batsman after 5 overs. Srikanth continued the good work and took most of the strike and entertained the crowed with excellent straight drives and square drives.
