LCC-Lightning @ CSCC-Giants: Premier : 9:00 AM Saturday, July 15th,2023, at Cornerstone Park, Littleton – Reported by Guru Nishok(CSCC)
Cornerstone Park received us with a cool breeze brushing through the lush green patches of grass. The conditions looked bright and shiny as both the teams finished warming up their muscles for the clash. Narander and Mayank officiated the game where the coin flipped in favor of the CSCC-Giants captain Karthick Ragunath. Confidently, the skipper opted to bowl first asking the home team captain Sam and his folks to bat first.
Demolition Derby Dominance Ranjith and Nishok had the new ball. The left right duo, Sam and Sakthivel walked in confidently. Both of the Giants’ bowlers looked confident from ball one. Ranjith was brining his experience in with the ball which set the tone for the rest of the innings. Nishok gave the first breakthrough that the CSCC-Giants wanted. He removed the keeper batsmen Sakthivel for 4(8) caught behind by Sachith. Ranjith unleashed his A game and dismissed the captain of LCC-Lightning for 6(14) as bowled. In the same over, Gowtham was sent back for 4(19) brilliantly caught by Viswa at first slip. Truly, calm and composed catching from him. Once the initial wickets fell, CSCC-Giants capitalized the situation and attacked the batting unit of LCC-Lightning. In this process, Nishok got Ramesh Menon for 1(6) caught at gully by Gurdeep. Manish also fell to Nishok for 3(6) caught behind by Sachith. At the end of 11 overs, LCC-Lightning were 40-5.
Bowlers Unite, Innings sealed tight Losing half their side, LCC-Lightning only was Manoj in the middle. However, some sharp fielding from the Anirudh at short mid-wicket, got Chandrasekhar as run out for 5(6), neatly collected by Karthick to do the rest of proceedings. The bowlers were simply on fire, Karthick bowled a screamer to get Manoj 8(14) with 1 six as bowled. On the other end, Gurdeep was spinning the web to wrap things up for CSCC-Giants. He got Vijay for a duck caught behind by Sachith. Sudipta was playing some good cricketing shots. But then, as the leggie came in intelligent, he got him for 21(15) with 1 four and 1 six caught by Prasanna at Point. Likith managed to survive for a short time where he fell as a leg before wicket for 0(2).
Some tight bowling from CSCC-Giants bowling unit to restrict the LCC-Lightning for 77-10 at their home ground. Not to forget the absolute athleticism from the boys on the field who gave it all for the team. And how good was Sachith behind the stumps!! Treat to watch him keep.
Batting Brigade Soars Gaurav and Anirudh opened the batting for CSCC-Giants. Likith and Mahesh had the new ball, both known for getting the conventional swing for the right handers. Sam had the attacking field set, which did wonders. Gaurav went for 0(8) caught by Sam at first slip. A good set up ball by Mahesh. Anirudh looked very optimistic in his shots, which were played with much clarity and strength. Likith on the other end was tight with his lengths and he got Karthick for 2(5) caught again at first slip by Sam. Well, are low scoring games that tricky. Is there going to be a twist in the tale. Absolutely freaking no, said our Southpaw, Sachith. Be it blocking the initial deliveries to get his eyes in or attacking the bad balls he was always all in, staying on top of the bowlers. The spinners of LCC-Lightning came in only to get dispatched for raining boundaries. Both Anirudh and Sachith batted amazingly well to carry the team to the finish line scoring, 29*(36) with 3 fours and 33*(31) with 6 fours respectively.
This will be a special victory for CSCC-Giants as they dominated LCC-Lightning on their home ground putting them to bat first and wrapping them cheaply. Credits to all eleven for holding their nerves on the field and staying calm for the opponents to make the mistake. Truly a convincing win getting 2 important points in the Premier Round 2 format.
Player of the Match: Guru Nishok Radhakrishnan A good new ball bowling to remove crucial wickets of LCC-Lightning upfront in the innings. Could have been a little more restrictive on his extras though! But yeah, a convincing performance to get those important break throughs for his team. Thanks to his fellow mates for converting those chances to a wicket delivery. This will be his Second Man of the match in CCL. Many more savvy performances to come from him for Colorado Springs Cricket Club. Congrats Nishok!
