Promises Kept...

They played, they taught and the rest as you know is history....

The Northern Nawabs stormed into the finals beating the Big Down South Boys comprehensively. The South Boys were under pressure from the very first ball, when their opener got out, but as luck would be, it was of of no-ball. But this did not effect the spirits of the Nawabs as they got him in the very next ball.The rest of the team hey kept losing their wickets at regular intervals and failed to strike a good partnership. The Boys were also not helped by the on field injury caused to one of their star batsmen, Rahul Varghese. Though a spirited performance by injured man - Dore, raised some hopes for the Boys from South but it proved to be more of a flash in the pan. The Nawab bowlers again exhibited some excellent bowling performance bowling excellent line and length and taking wickets regularly. The Big Down South Boy got restricted to a score of 71.

The target seemed to be quite easy for the Nawabs but they lost the prize wicket of Adit Pujari in the second over, thus putting a bit of pressure on Abhyuday. But the hero from the Nawab's first match, Animesh and Abhyuday steadied the innings and scored in a brisk pace. Abhuday seemed to be in a fine touch and hit fours and sixes, thus never letting the run rate to climb up. With 5 runs to win, the Nawabs lost 2 quick wickets and one more wicket with 1 run to win, which raised a few eyebrows. But Abhay, who after a long time came back among runs, hit a boundary and won the match for the team in style.

As Promised the Nawabs did not let down their supporters and other commoners. They not only exhibited great cricketing skills but again paved the way for the commoners to follow and play better cricket than they have been playing all this while.

The Nawabs having qualified to the finals will now face the Eastern Immortals, and would as always try to showcase an excellent game of cricket. They whole heatedly thank all their supporters ad other commoners and hope that they would be there to watch them play the Finals.
