Upsets was the order of the week

Upset was the order of the week

When everyone were predetermined with the fact that the top teams of the leagues were decided based on initial euphoria, the reality sunk in. Cricket is called a great leveller : you are the champion one day and next day you are flat on the floor. Indeed that was the order of the week where we witnessed very exciting matches. The tone was set by Hawks when they defeated the star studded Monster on saturday. It was an all round display of team work and some wonderful batting by Amandeep and Raman. But, the best surpise was Bulls coming from behind and defeating the fancied Power Rangers in a heart stopping encounter. Power Rangers defended well a small total of 36 only to be let down by a dropped catch in the last over, allowing Bulls last pair to steal the winning runs with three balls to go.

Then came the much awaited Clash of Rocks vs Pistons which turned out to be a one sided affairs with Rocks dominating Pistons in all department, thanks once again to their strong batting line up.


Bulls tryst with their moment of glory was shortlived when Hawks comprehensively defeated Bulls who were bundled out for 44 and the chase was easily done by Hawks while loosing 3 wickets only.

Then came a startegic ploy by PowerRangers Captain Rocky, who came as a pinch hitter in his match against Pistons and took the game away from them by scoring 35 in first 2 overs. The SPL leauge started to get exciting now.

But who will defeat Rocks who went ahead with clinical precision to demolish Bulls again to become the No 1 on the leauge. It seems to be battle between the remaining 5 teams with Rocks in a different league.

BUT !!!

Law of nature cannot be fought : what goes up, comes down...Was it Newton who said that..The upset of the league happened today with Hawks defeating Rocks comprehensively. Chasing a total of 70 to win, it seems to be going in the direction of Rocks once again but Hawks kept to their strategy and cool head to pluck wickets one by one by some excellent all round team effort Result : Rock cracked. This should give hope to all other teams that one a particular day anyone who plays well and keeps their cool can WIN. It cant get more exciting than this. We never thought that these games will be played with such intensity and passion, but what reflects on the field is a true sprit of smartData which WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD. We encourage non playing people to come and witness the excitement which is going to reach it fervish pitch as the league moves towards last 4 rounds. Hawks sat on Rocks, Power Rangers Fired the Pistons, Bulls rode on Power Rangers...Can it get more interesting than this : Who knows ..Keep watching this space so as to not miss the action.
