HCC have won this match comfortably. After winning the toss and bowling first, HCC produced a mediocre bowling displaywith only Mahesh Chauhan registering his name in the wickets column. For Empire Blades, it was V Padhaal and JS Scamans who scored the bulk of the runs. In reply,HCC got off to shaky start losing 3 wickets in their first 3 overs. F. Nellacheri scored a brilliant half century and was ably supported by A. Qureshi. The turning point of the match came when H Kumar came on to bowl his solitary over and conceded 31, making a mockery of Empire Blades total of 105. An anti-climatic finish was excpected when U. Nandini bowling his final over picked up 2 wickets in succession. However. A Qureshi took the matter in his hands and finished of the chase with a classy hit to the boundary. M Imran and U Nandini were the pick of the bowlers as both picked up 2 and 3 wickets respectively.
