Blitz CC restarted cricket after close to a one-year break with an inter-Blitz practice match. We had close to 26 players who played this hard-fought high-intensity game. In the end, Blitz A just got past the finish line by 10 runs. Today, we are starting our first tournament match for 2021. 🙌🙌

Blitz CC provided a clinical display of all-round cricket to beat Nemesis by 37 runs in the tournament game which puts us on top of the group with 4 more games to go ( Top 2 qualify for the finals). We scored 178 in 22 overs with the top 6 all contributing to the cause with double-digit scores and a 50 from the stylish leftie, Ajith Kumar. Despite Nemesis getting off to a brisk start, the spin duo of TG Ashwin Narayanan and Arvvind Srivats brought us back into the game with tight spells and creating ample questions for the batsmen with the variations in lengths, and speed. Vevek Seetharaman did the crucial job of cleaning the tail to close the game out bagging 3 wickets.
