Fall season first game for Hawkes, Anticipated game for few reason, major turn over, new talents joining. Brilliant performances by players individually and as a team. Special recognition Asintha, Purab, and Piyush for standing out.
Game was on a sunday, beautiful day. Hawkes was the visiting team yet playing on our home ground. Hawkes discussed what we should do "IF" we win the toss, before we know it Prab did the unthinkable won the toss. Hawkes decided to bowl first, and cut Wielders around a score of 60. Chai opened the first over, very tight over and got a wicket. Swamy continued second over, getting used to new pitch bowled very consistent. Wielders had their wickets falling consistently till the 4th over, batsmen settled down and scoring tactically. Sagar K cmae for the spell with a very tight over and excellent variations. Hawkes finished strong 10 over 28 runs. Wielders batsman looked settled and confident. Piyush came for 11th over after the break, taking three wickets in that over, putting wielders in a very tough spot. Than comes Sagar D dismissing two key batsman followed by swamy for an maiden over. Hawkes restricted wielders for 65. Hawkes needed 66 to win in 20 0vers, challenge was to do it in 15 overs to improve our DDR.
Asintha and Piyush opened the inning, looking calm, confident and furious Asintha started his Batting. Asintha punished bad bowls to the extreme especially his hook shots was a delight. Piyush gave a short stand to Asintha, got dismissed soon. Ravin was the next batsman for the job came back after giving a easy catch to the bowler. Parijit was the man sure to finish the job with ASINTHA, Parijit was a victim of a poor official decisions, a very unfortunate decision. After much debate who should be the man for the job, our one of the most consistent batsman Purab was sent. Before we know it Purab got in his routine, was very well backed up by Asintha. Asintha's straight six was a delight clearing boundary by a feet. Purab's textbook shots was a delight. Purab and Asintha got Hawkes to comfortable position to have a great win.
Hawkes finished 66 in 12.3 overs.
Asintha got Man of the match for fearless batting display and PIyush got POW(player of the week) for his discipline bowling.
Great start to the season, with many new talents in the team, I can say this with confident, one of the most balance team in a long time. Lets keep the momentum going.
