Wipro gets back to winning ways again

Match Summary: Wipro Vs Trianz
Wipro won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Ganga and Dinesh started the innings and were absolutely unplayable right from the word go. Sajit and Anand opened cautiously.They ensured that no wicket fell in powerplay overs. Arun came in as first change in to the attack. He provided the first breakthrough and followed it up with another wicket in same over. Srikanth walked in next to bat. He started off very positively but in Arun’s second over, he played a ball onto his stumps. From there it was only Sajit who defied all odds and carried his bat all through the innings. Rajesh picked up 2 wickets and Dr.Gopal 1 wicket.

All in all Wipro was successful in holding Trianz for 69 by the end of 20 overs.

Sree and Rajesh walked to bat to chase the target. Sree got out in the second over trying to play an outside offstick delivery from Kalyan. Ankur walked in next but did not last long. And he too got out to Kalyan. Bharani walked in a no.4. He took his time in settling down. Rajesh at other end was fluent as usual. But Trianz never allowed the batsman to free their arms. Bharani and Rajesh followed in quick succession. Both made useful contributions of 16 and 14 to the score. It was left to Ganga and Dr.Gopal to finish the innings. Dr.Gopal hit the one and only six of the match. When it looked like Wipro will sail through quiet comfortably, a direct shot from Ganga resulted in the ball getting diverted by bowler and went on to hit the stumps. Dr.Gopal got run out. Suraj walked in next, but Ganga finished the match with boundary. Wipro reached 73 by 11.5 overs.

So with this win, Wipro not only garnered 2 points, but it also picked up valuable NRR, which might be crucial in deciding the Semifinalists.

Arun for his crucial spell of 3 wkts for 10 runs won the Man of the Match award.
