We won the Toss and elected to batt first on a hot day batting first always make happy to everyone , Abdul and Ramanjot started Inning for Loka and played sensible inning and gave 116 Runs start of opening partnership, Ramanjot 77 and Abdul 35 Runs scored for Loka.
Raj joined Ramanjot at 3rd position and very quickly get 19 runs on few balls and depart soon on a very good ball by Graz bowler. After 3 wickets Ashish and Tomaz joined the party and played sensibly, they both stayed on wicket for Sun bath and got more than 50 Runs partnership then eventually captain Shahid had to call back Tomaz because he got enough brown color and 34 overs were done and Loka were 185/3 only not possible normally .
Captain decided to send Awais for big hits to get maximum in 6 overs with partner Ashish who was looking solid but Ashish got LBW on 31 Run LBW.
Ragunath joined Awais both were trying to get maximum in last overs and pushing for singles into double then eventually Ragunath got out on 7 and then right after that Awais depart on beauty (Slow ball by Adil). Now Shahid was already on crease and it was 37th Over and 222 for 7.
Ayyaz joined Shahid, Now what the plan? we need to get atleast 260 and 3 overs left and we finished on 269/8 in 40 Overs. (shahid 23*, Ayyaz 19*).
Graz started inning to chase 269 but their opening didnt stand long against our new opening bowling pair (Ayush and Awais).
Ayush left arm spinner kept tight line and length while Awais line, we all know but he sent back opener very quickly to pavilion, after that 2nd wicket partnership looked solid but Loka tight bowling didnt let them get runs easily and Graz was losing wickets the only guy who looked solid and stayed long was Sagar who batted well and got 50 runs after that it was look like a one sided game.
at the end they managed to get 171/10.
Loka won by 98 runs Congratulation!!!!!!!
