Interesting Start to the Final Edition

GPL, Final Edition kicked off yesterday. Jaipur Club (JC) made their come back after two seasons, to the tournament, by facing the Red Hawks. Their batting was formidable as they posted a score of 55. Punit batted brilliantly for his knock of 38. He batted with a mixture of patience and flurry, but the others could not support him much. Red Hawks made it a one sided affair, with Kalpit getting a magnificient half century and ensuring that their team surpassed the total in 4 overs with no wicket loss! JC will have to improve their bowling, as their batting looks strong. The second match was between the Minnows and 16 Radians. Radians managed a total of 78 with every body contributing. The target was mammoth and the Minnows could manage 46 runs. Arun was the saving grace as he scored a brilliant 30. The next match was between the UnderDogz and Purple Haze. We chose to bowl and managed to get them for 16 runs. Anand managed the runs but got out. Thereafter Shreyans completed the formalities to give us the first win in the tournament. The format this time is different from the previos editions. It has two pools, with four teams each. Three teams from both groups will qualify for the Super Six. The tournament looks well open at the moment and today's fixture will almost decide who will go to the next round.
