Challengers v Warriors...it's a tie!

The senior teams for the Challengers and Warriors played a 10-over match on Sunday morning, with the result being a tie.

The Warriors batted first, accumulating 74 runs in their innings. Pujan scored 16 not out, including a four and a six. Sagar contributed seven runs, as did Yash, with Akil scoring six. The Warriors score 23 runs in the last two overs to set a target of 75 for the Challengers. The Challengers' bowling attack featured the Parekh brothers -- Rishabh and Parth each bowled one over, with Rishabh conceding just 1 run and taking one wicket in his over. Parth took two wickets for just four runs. An excellent performance from Sidd as well for the Challengers, taking two wickets for six runs.

With a target of 75 runs, the Challengers had two batsmen with good scores -- Shiven scored 11 not out and Rishabh scored 9 not out. Rishabh's six off of Akash sparked the Challengers' offense and drew them close to the win.

With three balls left in the match, the Challengers needed three runs to win. Sidd hit a two, bringing the scores level. Sidd again faced Praneel with just two balls left and one run to win. But Praneel took his wicket (by Deepankar's great catch in the outfield) to take the match down to the last ball. The new batsman was unable to score off of the last ball, and the two teams ended the match tied.

Pujan was the best bowler for the Warriors -- taking two wickets in two overs for 11 runs. Sonu, Praneel, and Kishan also took wickets for the Warriors.

For his 16 not out batting and his 2-0-11-2 bowling, Pujan was named Man of the Match.

We're so proud of the way all these young cricketers played. They are a joy to watch and to coach.
