Sporty Day out @ Bank of America Cricket team



It was 10:00 A.M in the morning and the sky was still murky. The grass was wet with the overnight dew and the grounds men were investing their hard work to give the finishing touch.

The vibrant & enthusiastic teams, entered the field with a point to prove. The competition was just few minutes away from the start, but the players were willing to go out at the centre and give their best.

It was 10:15, and the whole complex could listen to the roar and claps as the 2 captains went inside the field along with the umpires and the coin was tossed up in the air.




Their was a new energy all over the ground, Fearless eyes, roaring voices.
Chill in the air, dew drops on grass and the enhtu was all high to give the best fight. We all gathered in a circle boosted everyone and it yes it really helps, being a captain flowing regular morale boost is very important. Match started and we won the toss. We elected to bat first.

Summary of the Match:

ARM (Analytics team) held its nerve against a brave charge by RnR to win the spectacle by a handsome margin of 15 runs after setting a target of 126 while earlier in the day, sensational seam bowling and Mehta's half-century ensured ARM team the first spot in the Bank of America Twenty20 final at Dhyan chand Stadium.

Chasing a target of 126 runs, after a combination of poor batting and excellent bowling restricted RnR team to 112-8 from their 20 overs, ARM won the first knock out encounter at the Dhyan Chand cricket ground in pitampura by six wickets after knocking off 112 runs in 18.5 overs. A middle order collapse had cost RnR vital runs after a promising start.

Concluded with a commemorative picture and Famous Nagpal "Chole bhuttre" in the town we ended our day.

Take Away: Pain in every bone of the body, new friends, learned some mistakes, cherish able moments and the most important Victory

We won!!!
