Going from Strength to Strength, Thunders went to the top of the League Table in WMCL 2009 with another comprehensive victory over the Mighty Indians. Things were little different from earlier matches since this time with Anand losing the toss, we were put to in to Bat by Mightly Indians and the task was now to put up a target, than chasing one.
Things started fine with Aditya and Prabhu giving a decent and steady start, and at that time it looked that we were heading for our set target of minimum 120 runs that the team had decided before the start of the innings. However things were slowed down in the middle overs and in the end Thunders could put up a Target of only 103 runs for the opponents, which was decent but 10-15 runs short of desirable one. Aditya played a wonderful knock of 27 runs, making sure that one end is secure till the end with able support from Prabhu, Kruttik, Akshay, Sachin and Kalyan from the other.
The bowling department lived up to the task and made a mountain of the target with getting regular wickets and making sure that the target is always out of reach from the Mighty Indians grasp with some controlled bowling. Krishna, Anand and Gaurav bowled great tight spells not giving easy runs and all the other bowlers chipped in with regular wickets keeping the opponents in constant pressure. By far this was the one of the best fielding efforts seen by the team on the ground with some lovely catches and fast ground coverage and returns. Thunders wrapped up the match in 13.5 overs making sure that there are no hiccups on the way.
