Cosmos batting started with a dropped catch by Srini and some good hits by Rashmi but Ramanan came thru with 2 quick wickets. Amit, Ramanan and Ashwani with 1 wicket each and Hamza with 2 contributed to get next 5 quick ones to get Cosmos at 65 for 7 at 1st break. Then came a great partnership between John and Hopton for 70 runs. The Ramesh and Amit get the next 2 which got us closer to win.
