Marina 1 vs IA - Match Summary

Prabhu won the toss and decided to field. The first wicket came early, but the next pair batted well and put up a big partnership. Few wickets fell towards the end of the innings, but the IA batsmen kept scoring steadily. They were at 195 in 33 overs when the rain came.

It looked like washout, but the rain stopped and the Marina guys put a lot of effort to get the ground back into playable condition. In the end the game re-started at 5 40pm with a target of 112 in 16 overs. Vignesh and Ganesh started well for Marina and the partnership lasted till the 9th overs. The required run rate was slightly over 6 that time. But after that wicket, the IA bowler put the breaks on our scoring with regular wickets. Prabhu got out for in the first ball. Prem and Chandru were runout.

In the end 21 was required in the last two overs. Marina batsmen couldn't get the boundaries and we fell 6-7 runs short.
