Game 1 - 20-20 League in Ohio Invitation Cup

Cleveland won the toss and decided to field. Akron were 13/3 at one stage. A good batting display from Amit (as always) and Hari Parthasarathi pulled us through. Siddharth's timely knock gave some boost. Akron managed 96 runs in 18.4 (approx)-all out.Our surprise bowler this time was Amit who opened with Vijay at the start. His first over was maiden. Excellent spell by Amit, Aditya and Hari restricted cleveland to 26 runs in 10 overs. Fast bowlers tightened their grip further to leave Cleveland on 58 at the end of 17 overs. Thus needing 39 runs in 3 overs, Akron felt they were safe. However some crisp strokeplay from Manu (Cleveland) and some rubbish bowling by other bowlers from Akron helped Cleveland score 26 runs in 18th and 19th over. Needing 13 runs in 6 balls, Manu hit 4,6 and 2 (new batsman scored 1 of the first ball) to give Cleveland a surprise win.
