HCC enters the T20 play offs on a 5 game unbeaten streak.!!!!

Even before we started the game we knew we were through to next round :).. Bengals lost to Elite by a huge margin which comfortably placed our team in next round.

PWCC - 119 all out in 18 overs. The game was reduced since the earlier game went over the time.
Pwcc won the toss and elected to bat. They started well with their openers putting a decent partnership. Once we got their first 2, the rest tumbled. First one was taken by Gupta. Batsman had no clue how the ball went and hit the wkt. Then Saurabh sent their opener back, well caught by Deepak H. Saurabh got one more. Venkat as usual ripped their batting order with 4 wkts, Kundal got 2, and Y got 1.

Anna and Saurabh started our innings. Saurabh got out trying to play square cut, then Srini joined Anna, both put 60 runs together. Anna got out, Syed joined Srini and put up a 40 run partnership, It took us close to target. Syed hit a huge six of a full toss and suddenly the game seemed to be decided.When it was run a ball needed, Syed got out trying to go for a second run. Second last over, Srini got out trying to hit the ball for four. Kundal was the next one to go. The equation was still at run a ball. Last over read like this, 7 runs in 6 balls 5 wickets in hand. Deepak H hit a shot which was a six, fielder pops out the catch to six but calls it in and didn't give a six or a four, there were 2 taken on that. So 5 of 5 needed. A dot ball and a single from Deepak G brought the equation to 4 runs in two balls. H sends to ball towards the boundary and the fielder gets to it and cut the boundary. We needed 2 of last ball. Deepak H hit and ran for single and the score was tied.

HCC wins by wickets with the scores leveled !!!!

Srini - 33(40), Syed - 30 (21), Suresh N (29 (22), Venkat - 4 wkts, Saurabh and Kundal - 2 each, Deepak G and Suresh Y - 1 each.
