IBM decision to bowl first went in right way as their opening bowlers Narein and Sai claimed 1 wicket each in their very first overs (23/2 at end of 2 overs). Next bowling spells by Aquib and Ravi ensured NCR do not get any leeway to build partnerships picking up wickets at regular intervals with stump to stump deliveries (53/5 at end of 10 overs). NCR batsman 'Reddy' alone stuck at one end collecting runs (25 runs in 28 balls) from pushes and nudges. Finally it was Madhav who changed the course of game in 16 over taking 3 quick wickets. (1 wicket includes a stunning one handed catch taken by Sai at deep square leg boundary line) At the end, NCR managded to score 95 runs in 15.4 Overs .

With 96 runs to be chased, IBM batsmans Savi and Aquib played a sensible knock in first 4 overs (24/0 in 4 overs). Aquib was the first one to be dismissed by Kranthi who was bowling decent line and length balls. Next batsman sitesh steadied the innings for sometime. Skipper Savi played some excellent copy book shots and hit 6 boundaries before he was bowled out by Kranthi at 28 runs, by that time IBM were 65/2 in 10 overs With some quick wickets that fell in middle, gave an impression that match could turn into NCR way but useful 17 runs partnership between Ravi & Sai plus some extras made a differrence.

With 4 runs to win and 3 overs remaining, first ball of 17th over was hit to straight boundary line by Sai which decided IBM victory.
