Mile High Cricket club (MCC) @ New Mexico United Cricket club (NMUCC) : Twenty20 - D2 - 1:30pm Saturday August 12th at Memorial Park Rose bowl - Colorado Springs - reported by Vishesh Umarania(NMUCC)
With the sunlight piercing the clouds MCC won the toss and chose to bowl first. The NMUCC openers Dharmesh Bhakta and Saad Nasir started the innings carefully by scoring 39 runs for 1 wicket in the powerplay with Himashu Jaduan getting the early wicket of Saad Nasir. This prompted a batting collapse by NMUCC that was spearheaded by Himanshu’s direct run out of Dharmesh Bhakta who was going strong at 37 runs in 26 balls. The collapse was only halted by the innings break as NMUCC were down 5 wickets for 66 runs. After the break the demolition job was resumed by MCC as they got 2 more runs out and bowled economically until all of NMUCC’s batsmen fell in 18.5 overs making a pedestrian 97 in the process. MCC bowlers were excellent with Himashu Jaduan and Arunkumar Kumaravel picking up 2 wickets a piece and Kumaresan Pandiyan picking up 1 but even this was eclipsed by their fielding performance of 4 runouts.
With NMUCC’s back against the wall they walked into the second innings with resolve from their horrid first innings performance. The NMUCC openings bowlers restricted the MCC batsmen for 27 runs for 2 wickets in the powerplay. MCC still chipped away a good piece of the score with 41/4 in 10 overs. Unfortunately that all changed quickly as the NMUCC bowlers blew them away in 16.3 overs scoring only 60 runs. The NMUCC bowling unit was lethal as all the bowlers picked up wickets whilst being economical with Visheh Umarania picking up 3 wickets, Sikander Awan , Dharmesh Bhakta and Ahsan Bhatt picking up 2 wickets a piece and Roshin Velutheri picking up 1.
