The wicket was wet and slow. Victoria won the toss and put United to bat. And I don’t think they did a wrong call, we just played really good. With Anush and Ashwani opening, the game started slow and watchful. And before Ashwani could start he was given LBW on the front foot for the ball swing down the leg. Then came Raja. He played very sensibly and at one point was slower than Anush. Then there was mis-understanding on running between the wickets. Anush was runout. The flow of shots came from Raja and before we knew, he was on his 50 with good support from Hemanth. Hemanth was out trying to push for a single just before the drink interval at 92. Srini joined Raja and were going at a rate of 9+ runs a over, when Raja mistimed a shot to extra cover. Ramanan joined Srini and was in the groove from ball one. He hit some daring sixes and we were past 150 in 23rd over. When Srini got out, Shankar came in to support Ramanan and took the score to 195 when he got out to an easy ball trying keeping it down. Ramanan crossed 50 with support from Sundar and was out trying to clear for another 6. Sundar and Satya put on another 46 runs in just 6 overs. We scored 276 for 7 in 45 overs. United bowling was started by Hari and Ramanan. They cleared the top 6 batsmen for a total of 17 runs in first 6 overs with Ramanan taking 5 for 31 overall. We did ok with our fielding and catches. Only we took next 26 overs to wrap the tail orders (Last 4 wickets). The man of the match for United goes to Ramanan and a great contribution from Rajamani with the bat.
