Victory to CSE!!!

CSE team beats IE team in the cricket match!!

A resounding victory to the CSE Cricket Team!! The CSE team has won the first ever Cricket match played between the two Engineering departments in UTA. Packed with all the ingredients of an exciting game of Cricket, it was game well-played by both the teams!!

The CSE Grad Club would like to thank both, the IE and CSE Cricket teams. Special thanks to Dr.Donald Liles, Chair of the IE department and Dr.Mary Johnson from the IE department for having been there throughout the game and for actively cheering the teams. We thank both the departments for supporting this endeavour in spirit as well as financially.

No game is complete without cheering!! We'd like to thank the audience from the IE department and the audience from CSE (which included some supporters from EE!!).

Game Details :

IE won the toss and elected to field. The CSE team batted with grit and patience. On a pitch which was difficult to bat on, every CSE batsman chipped in with valuable contributions to the teams' total score of 69 runs in 16 overs.

CSE bowled with tremendous discipline maintaining a strict line and length which rewarded them with early wickets. IE chasing a target of 70 runs to win in 16 overs, finally had to score 12 runs in 2 overs with 4 wickets in hand. If thats already not exciting enough.....keep reading..

It came down to 7 balls to go - 8 runs to win - 4 wickets in hand! And then some classy fielding and good bowling by the CSE team.....IE suffered 3 run outs in succession!!! With 4 balls remaining - 8 runs to win - and 1 wicket in hand....lets just say that the pressure got better of the IE team, they lost their last wicket with 1 ball remaining and 8 runs to win!! The rest is history:-)

Get Bowled Over!!!
