We won the toss and elected to field. They started off very aggressively on a fast outfield. Average scores on CSP1 has
been around 170 this season (and 218 being highest), so we knew there was a big target in store but I expected more pressure
on them from our excellent bowling lineup. Overall, we did not bowl up to our potential with plenty of boundary balls. Sampath, Ashish, SidS and Boopathi bowled well in patches. They played very well too since they had a big batting lineup and could slog from the first over. They got 179/20 overs. Satish Mani kept very well.
On the batting front, we did very well with most batsmen contributing and playing disciplined innings. We went in
with lots of bowlers and few batsmen, but I was happy with the way we chased. Rahul and Amit got us to a good start
of 40 in 7 overs. SidK played with the middle order and it was 110 after 16 overs with still a slight chance of taking it
home. Mansoor then went berserk and hit cleanly to bring us within 20 runs.
