The Other opener Irfan and Shihad steadied the innings and held on to a very good patrtnership
Magical Over No 9 for patriots Patriots needed some Magic or Luck to happen to qualify for the playoffs and Karthick Ragunath did the magic for the team, he picked up 3 wickets in that over, and the Brocos were down to 36-4. Karthick R and Karthick M the two bowlers bowled disciplined line and length not giving away anything for the Broncos batsman. With economical overs and pressure building up the Brocos captain Irfan got out for 9. Karthick R picked up his 5th wicket with some brilliant catch by Karthick M.

LCC Panthers @ FRCC Legends: T20 – 3 pm Saturday, September 16, 2023, at Lincoln Middle School, Fort Collins - Reported by Praveen Narayan(FRCC-Legends)
The stage was set for FRCC-Legends and LCC-Panthers to clash on a hot Saturday afternoon. While the Legends were coming off a couple of morale-boosting victories against teams in the upper-half of the table, the Panthers had lost their last 2 games and were looking to break their losing streak. FRCC-Legends won the toss and elected to bowl first. Hitesh and the returning captain Manish opened the bowling for FRCC, with Panthers sending in their destructive openers Eugene and Nayab. Manish made early inroads, getting the big wicket of Eugene, with Mohin taking a well-judged catch at long on. The Panthers top order had no answers to Manish’s probing lines and his swing. Nayab at the other end took the attack to the opposition, making full use of the powerplay and smashed 5 4s and 2 6s. Vidhan however cut his innings short and trapped him plumb in front, off the very last ball of the powerplay. Nayab was dismissed for a destructive 25 ball-47. Thereafter, legspinner Praveen controlled the middle overs and dismissed both Chandrasekhar and Raji who scored 16, with Hardik taking a good catch behind the stumps, for the latter’s wicket. It was also a good outing for Zahid, who was economical on his debut for FRCC. Raj who scored 15 and Vijay threatened to take the game away from FRCC, but Pridhvi kept it tight at the death with his hard lengths and along with Manish, helped restrict Panthers to 121.
In response, Advait Iyer and Raj swung the ball around and gave little away to the FRCC openers. Raj took a good return catch to dismiss Srivaths in the 2nd over. With the pressure piling up, Mohin was dismissed in the 7th over due to some tight bowling from Eugene. Ben took a good catch in the covers. The LCC bowlers continued to apply the brake on FRCC’s innings, and at 29-2 after 9 overs, they were in the driver’s seat. However, Hardik and Zahid managed to find the odd boundary and run hard in the unforgiving heat, to ensure that the reqd. run rate never went above 9. Eugene pulled things back dismissing both well set batters in similar fashion for 15 and 18 respectively. With 63 needed from the last 6 overs and the game slipping away from FRCC, Manish decided to take matters into his own hands. He sent the ball to all parts of the ground, in a display of clean and powerful ball striking. Vamsi gave him able support and displayed a cool head in his unbeaten 13. Every over from the 15th to the 19th over yielded at least 1 boundary, with the highlights of the 66 run partnership being Manish’s huge six over long on, and Vamsi’s pull behind square, all in the 19th over. Manish eventually reached his 2nd CCL fifty, and finished on a destructive unbeaten 26 ball 54, which had 4 big 6s. Eugene was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets, and Advait and Raj also bowled well, with LCC fighting hard. However, FRCC had the last laugh, getting home with 4 balls left and 6 wickets in hand.
Player of the Match: Manish Mohanpurkar for his all-around performance, his best bowling 4-0-9-3 and batting 54(26)* performances both came in this game.
