First weekend results, NPL 4.0

The strategies and the plans which the different captains came up with as part of their NPL 4.0 preparations, were put to test last weekend. With Balls flying all over the ground in almost all the matches, it's highly doubtful if there was any team which didn't have their moments of ifs and buts.

Tournament opened with 'Shin Kamikaze' taking on 'Support Strikers'. Piyush and Himanshu made sure there was no upset and Shohils effort from Shin Kamikaze were just not enough.

In the second match Flame and Inferno challenged each other. It was supposed to be a tight match but Inferno managed to comfortably sail through with a disciplined batting, bowling and team effort. Himanshu Shivnani made a good contribution with the bat for Inferno while Sanjeet, though on the losing side, was still able to make a mark as an allrounder.

Sunday started with Inferno looking to seal their 2nd victory against 'Glory Hunters' and book their place in semis. But 'Glory Hunters' managed to give them their moments of despair with a decent batting performance from Vishal and Sanjay. It ended with a nail biting finish as Himanshu Shivhare took it till the last over blasting the boundaries at will. He fell eventually on the bowling of Sonam while unsuccesfully attempting to cross the boundary one more time.

In the last match of the weekend mighty 'BoB' were ruthless against Shin kamikaze. Professional approach clinically executed saw them complete their target in a little over 5 overs. Shubojeet managed to score some quick runs before running back to Dugout for shades.
