A Day Full of Dramas: Underdogz and Unicorns are in the Final

Amidst high drama and exciting turnarounds, the UnderDogz and the Unicorns made it to the Final of GNLU Premier League, Edition III.
The first Semifinal was between the UnderDogz and GJ 6. Prior to this match, GJ 6’s winning record against the UnderDogz was 100%! But what followed was unexpected by one and all. I won the toss and elected to field. Parth opened the batting and was looking in a definite touch, but then came the blow. Vinit dismissed Parth with a rising delivery. The next over Vardhan got two more wickets. Mudit too was dismissed by Sachin Baid, and GJ 6 was dismissed for a mere score of 10 runs! I opened the batting and hit a six but was dismissed while trying to finish off proceedings. Thereafter, Vinit and Sachin were dismissed with out adding to the score. Anand came and finished off the match in style with a six and the UnderDogz were in the Final. I have a word of praise for our immaculate bowling performance and for having dismissed a batting team like GJ for such a low score. A lot was said before this match regarding our poor form and the invincibility of the team we were facing. But, strategic planning and execution made it sure that GJ 6 was ousted from the run for the Cup. But I must mention here that GJ 6 gave it everything while they bowled and it was a spending show of spirit and fight, that made the match as it was, rather than allowing it to be a one sided affair.
The second match between HIV 6 and the Unicorns was also on the lines of the First Semifinal. HIV 6 managed 12 runs, thanks to a spending four-wicket-haul by Manish Kanth, supported well by Sharad Khare and other bowlers. But the HIV 6 managed to get the wickets of Abhishek, Neeraj, Neerav Meena and Sharad Khare for 8 runs. But, Jeet Bhatt showed his patience and class and made sure that the target was surpassed.
Thus, looking at the form of both the teams, the Final promises to be a great contest. We have come this far, we are hoping to lift GPL 3.
