The losing streak continues :(

Another weekend, same story. After M2's loss to Lanka Lions, M3 was hoping to bring some good news for Marina. On paper it looked like a good team and hence the hope.

Things started well for M3...we scored 171/7 in 30 overs. Babai made an excellent unbeaten 55 and was the star batsman. Prem (20+), Mohan(25+) and Bansal(11+) batted well and we were able to reach 171. So far so good.

Then the drama started. Baring the few opening overs, all our bowlers were literally hammered by the Lanka batsmen. They finished the game in the 19th over at the cost of 4 wickets. The batting was good, but they were really helped by wayward bowling and 43 extras. These 43 extras could have been a lot more, if Deep (our new keeper) had a bad day. His keeping was one of the few positives of the match. The field placing is also an area that we need to a hold on.

After more then a month's wait, a loss like this can be really demoralizing. But we have another chance to redeem ourselves on 5th June. We should prepare ourselves as best as we could in the next few days and be ready for the challenge.
