This match was completely one guy's - Nilesh Suryawanshi. He took three wickets in the first innings to keep PCC down to a sub-par score. Then, when his team lost both openers in the first two overs and then two more wickets to Saini in the third, he stepped up with a brilliant 38.
PCC just deflated after the first four overs. They picked up another wicket but couldn't build on thanks to some poor fielding and uninspired bowling changes. Ronin CC looked out of the game multiple times but would be proud of how they kept coming back to take a big win.

3.6 Asad Anwar to Jaswinder Kumar, WICKET! One more bites the dust and it's looking a bit tricky for the batting team at the moment. On a fullish-length a shade outside off, Jaswinder swings across the line only to get a top edge, nowhere close to the distance he was after and a straightforward catch for the long-on fielder.
