The game was played in constant drizzle and both the teams showed good sportsmanship spirit and completed the game. The toss was won by CRC and they chose to bat first. Then they changed their mind and requested to reverse their decision allowing them to bat first; in absence of the captain, the vice captain, Sudheer agreed and allowed CRC to change their decision. The CRC team did not have their eleven and only had 5 players present. They took the field with 5 players and rightly asked to leave the field by the umpire because they did not have minimum required 7 players. They were deducted 3 overs from their innings as a result of this. CRC could have easily avoided this by choosing to bat first but they didn't.
After an early wicket Venky and Uday batted beautifully and laid a solid foundation. Uday played some well timed shots through the covers and scored smooth 30. At the other end Venky was very aggressive and continued his great form with some huge sixes. Given the solid foundation, the ACC was eyeing a big score despite of the wet and sluggish outfield. But the middle order batsmen never really got going and scored a combined 53 runs of 58 balls. ACC ended the innings on 131 runs; it was a little low given the start they had but given the conditions and reduced overs for CRC, it was going to be a tough total to chase.
The CRC's chase was rocked early by some accurate and fast bowling by Prashant Shukla. CRC lost 3 quick wickets and they never really recovered from that. Prashant removed 2 and Venky accounted for 1 in their opening spells. ACC did not let CRC settle striking at regular intervals and not giving away runs. Prashant came back for another over and got one more wicket. Laxmi got 2 wickets with Sudheer and Amit taking one each. It was a confortable win for ACC
Prashant Shukla was declared Man Of the Match for his fiery opening spell.
