TrendSetters somehow contrived to lose a
match they totally dominated until the final half-hour.
Chasing just 155 to beat Newwaves on a decent
track at FFCC ground; they were cruising on 116 for 5 with Skipper Kuljit and
Raguram going well. But the wicket of Prashanth, caught by Zia off Talpa Sai,
proved the catalyst for a feeble collapse by the TrendSetters.
Talpa Sai's leg-spin proved Newwave's killer
weapon as he took three wickets. First,
the former Newwaves player Kishore T removed Satya (0) and Rajesh G (30). Later
Kishore Struck again in his final over and got Raguram (26) caught behind
Zia.
Talpa Sai then walked to the middle to change
the entire complexion of the game. When Talpa Sai returned to have Prashanth
caught at covers, Newwaves were right back in it, though Trendsetters could
still have won, as they needed seven runs off the last over. Prashanth, mis-timed an off-drive and picked
out Kishore T to fall for 11. Yatin Bhuta scratched around for 1 before edging
behind an exquisite delivery that pitched in line with the stumps and left the
right-hander.
Alas for the Newwaves, Talpa Sai struck with
his first ball of the final over, Zia Haque stumped Krishan Prasad for (3), and
in the final analysis Inderjeet Singh had to hit the last ball of the match for
six.
He failed to score, and Newwaves had won by
four runs, which, on the evidence of their batting had seemed unlikely. Only Raguram (26) and Skipper Kuljit (23)
made decent scores, with Talpa Sai collecting three for 16 in five overs.
Zia Haque was most harshly dealt with,
conceding 24 off his first three overs
Fittingly, Kishore took three wickets and
scoring 37 notout, capping a performance that justly earned him the
man-of-the-match award.
"I enjoyed watching Sumanth from the
other end," Kishore Thota said upon leaving the field.
"It was one of those great one-day innings."
