Well done to enter semi-finals of SCL 4

Well done United Indians by winning the crutial match with huge margin of 55 runs on 17th July 2010 against Sengkang Falcons.

This will earn us a berth in semifinal on the netrun rate.I have done my own calculations and based on that we are well ahead of other team Clementi, as their winning margin against Club India was small.

But, I was tensened on Saturday morning whether we could play the match due to overcast conditions, due to heavy rain on Friday night. It all ended well once both teams agreed to play and umpires called for the toss.

I want to win the toss and bat first. Though we lost the toss, It was a bless in disguise, Sengkang Falcons allowed us to bat first.

We have piled up over 100 runs once again. we have been doing this consistently in this tournment. Once again it was good opening partnership between Vinay and Vijay of about over 50 runs. This really helped other batsmen down the order to free their arms and accumulate runs at the end.

there were two good lusty blows from Avinash, who has cleared boundary with thundering sixers towards our tent. This has pushed our score beyond 100 runs.

When we are back on the feild bowling was exceptional, as we have cut down wides and full toss balls, which was a problem in our earlier matches which costed us the match.

Overall it was very disciplened bowling performance from all our bowlers, Vinay, Srini, Kasi, Avinash, Alex and Hari.

Hope we continue the same in the semifinal next Sunday with Tampines Thunders.
