With just two (12stars) players in the ground, obvious choice after winning the toss was to bat. Openers (the only players) Anshul and Prem \u00a0were geared up to start the proceedings but had to wait little longer for the others to arrive. Delayed start, meant reduced overs! 18 overs per side was mutually agreed upon. RBCC\u2019s lush green, fast outfield conditions was begging the batsmen to go for their ground strokes and 12 stars batsmen made the most of it. \u00a0Prem , Rahul and Vishal scored unbeaten 25+ runs, which put the opposition on the back foot right away. Rahul continued where he left off in the previous match, free flowing boundaries coming of his bat was a treat to watch. Pick of the batsman was Vishal (Only batsman to score in the V today ), \u00a0showed lot of substance, determination and finally some maturity! \u00a0An imposing total of 140 runs in 18 overs \u00a0was set as the target for the home team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The opening bowling pair, Iyappan and Glen resembled \u00a0the \u201cConnected Rooks in a Chess game \u201d These two demolished the defences of more than half the side and all within 6 overs. Iyappan\u2019s out swingers and Glen\u2019s spot on bowling wreaked havoc for the Royals. \u00a0Another highlight of the 2nd innings was that, \u00a0except for a half-chance, not a single catch was dropped, \u00a0a sign of a highly motivated team indeed. Anshul\u2019s spectacular catch in the 2nd slip, sent shock waves in the RBCC dressing room. \u00a0Ishaq and Ravi were the only other bowlers used and \u00a0Ishaq drove the final nail in the coffin by clinching the last wicket. \u00a0RBCC were all out for a mere 43 runs. 12stars are now comfortably placed on top of the table with two wins so far. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crushing win against RBCC in their home turf: \u00a012 Stars Midweek team has sent a very strong message across that they are one formidable side to beat.
