The Match started late due to the POA exam of the 2nd yearites. It started at 15 minutes past 5pm.
Tired after the " long " landscaping exam, FLW's start bowler Mallu Annan slept off. He didn't pick up the calls from the FLW Captain. SPS, the joint purple cap holder was assigned to wake him up and make sure that Mallu reports on time. SPS took advantage of the situation, Didn't wake up the star slinger who was threatening the position of the purple cap holders. However Mallu woke up from the honey dew slumber, and rushed to the pavilion of Courtyard grounds.
For by then Shanky had found a faithful replacement for Mallu, in Borat, who was back from his very successful US Trip. Mallu had sit out. He joined the Team Manager Chimmu to support the team.
FLW had to win this match to almost secure a place in the finals ( as they had a superior Run Rate than Fosters ).
Taking the cause by both hands the FLWs batted with hearts of Lions. The orange Cap holder, surprise package Divyesh led from the front, with useful contribution from Raju n Samba. They put up a score of 57 on board. It was a competitive score, but the FLWs were facing the undefeated Calatravas who have the likes of Khetan n Ponga in their likes. But the story was supposed to be something else. Early strikes from Shanky n Samba left Caltrava's stuttering at 11 for the loss of 3 wickets at the end of 2 overs. Adding to the miseries, Raju castled SPS at the end of a way ward over.
But still Khetan at crease means trouble for FlWs. He pushed the ball here and there and was making runs at ease. Everyone scorned when Shanky handed the ball to Raju for the 6th over, with Calatrava's needing 13 from 12 balls. Shanky knew the man. In the second ball of the match, Khetan lofted the air to long off. Every one expected Borat, the long on to grass the ball, but he held on to the ball comfortably. Borat Strikes...!!! FLWs towards the finals...!!!
