KRRRINGGGGGG...
The alarm echoed all over the four corners of H11 hostel.
"Kaun gadha phone kar raha hai itni subah".
Neha picked up the phone.
"Neha, this is Tarun here. Come to KV grounds at 7 am."
"Acha it was you. Don't worry Tarun, I will be there at 7 sharp"
True to her word she reached the ground at sharp 7 am. As usual, everyone except the lazybones Sree, had reached the grounds.
"C'mon my boys, aaj ye match hamko jeetna hi hai. Woh Sree ka bachha abhi tak aaya nahi kya.Osko do thapad doonga. Aane do osko."
After 10 minutes or so, Sree somehow managed to reach the ground after which the match started.
Day-7 : Semi finals between Ultimate Warriors and "The Strikers"
Toss was won by "The Strikers" and they chose to bowl first. For Ultimate Warriors, Tarun the owner came out for batting along with Uday.
Tarun started blasting and by end of first over Ultimate Warriors had a good start.
But in the 2nd over Tarun got out. He returned back to the pavilion.
Maate felt let down that such an important member of her team got out so early in the innings.
"Yaar Tarun tune fine leg ki aur maarne ki koshish kyu ki. Straight bat se khelna tha na"
"Sorry Neha", said a dejected Tarun.
Sree looked at Maate with his mouth wide open.
"You know so much cricket? Fine leg?Straight bat?"
"Oyee u r talking to the captain of Indore Women's Cricket team. Mind it."
Meanwhile Kiran and Uday continued batting.
Maate was in full form.
"C'mon Kiran maaro chakka"
Maate was giving cricket tips to whoever cared to listen.
"Kiran ka bat lift utna nahi hei jitna chahiye. Isliye woh teek se nahi khel paa rehe hei. Aur unke bowling na..blah..blah..blah......"
Meanwhile 4 overs up. Now it was Matte's turn
"C'mon Maate, you can do it", cheered the Ultimate Warriors.
"Ya I know I can do it", Maate acknowledged.
20 pushups, 25 situps and 30 strecthes later, Maate was all set to face Ambu, the lady terror from the Strikers' team.
1st ball...Ambu balls...Maate misses....
"Pitch mei bahot patthar hai", Maate reasons, looking at the pitch.
"Oyee tu...", Maate shouts, looking at the nearby fielder." idhar aa...ye sab pathar hata"
The poor guy meekly followed her order. After all, who can dare disobey Maate.
2nd ball....Ambu balls...Maate misses...
"Hmm bahot tez hawa aa rahi hai".
3rd ball....Ambu balls...Maate misses
"Mere ankh mei dhool gaya"
4th ball...Ambu balls...Maate misses...
"Oyee ball mei bounce nahi hai"
5th ball...Ambu balls...Maate misses...
"Bat ki width bahut kam hai yaar"
"Aap agar aagya de to kitchen se bada sa tawa leke aau aapko batting karne ke liye?", Sree asked.
"Oyee chup, concentrate karne de mujhe".
6th ball...Ambu balls...Maate misses...
"Yaar inswinger tha. Kuch nahi kar payi".
Thus Maate completed her wonderful round of batting.
With some wonderful hitting at the end by Sagar, the Ultimate warriors put up a score of 65 at the end of their 7 overs.
The Strikers started their innings with Vijay and Harnath. Sagar started with a great over conceding just around 4 runs.
Maate was inspiring our team members with her cheering everyone from the pavilion (as for 1st 4 overs, girls from both teams had to sit outside).
Then started the downslide. Each over, we were gifting them with wides and no balls. Wides after wides were being bowled by almost all bowlers.
Maate was getting frustrated.
"Oyee kamino, itni subah subah utke aayi hun ye sab dekhne ke liye? Thik se bowling kar re. Inswing kar, Out swing kar, kuch bhi kar, bas unko out kar".
But no use. Along with the opponents' great batting and our wide bowling capabilities, the Strikers were inching slowly but steadily towards their target.
By end of 5 overs, they required 8 to win from 2 overs. Tarun bowling the 6th over...
wide,wide,wide,wide......there...game over...most wonderful way to end a game...
The Strikers win with 2 overs to spare. Ultimate Warriors creates history....for the most number of extras - 30. Now that's what is called an unbeatable record.
