The Final year students of Institute of Management Technology, Dubai took on the First year students in the finals of the Fresher’s Off Boat Champions League today. It was a breath taking match. Both the teams performed well. However, the first year team led by Harsh Thaker outplayed the second years led by Amit Kumar by 10 runs.
The first year team had an all win record in the tournament and were clearly a strong team to play against. Similarly, the opponent was equally strong and had earlier beaten their counterparts in the qualifying round. The senior students won the toss and elected to bowl. The first years batted first and compiled a competitive, yet an excellent total of 68 runs. The match was a 12 over match and the opening bowler from the first year was Ankit Bharadwaj who bowled for 4 overs and took 3 wickets. From the second year, the opening batsman was Shishir Roy.
The initial Bowling team (Second year) gave 17 extras – 15 Wide and 2 No Balls while the first year we re slightly contolled with theirextra s and gave onlt 10 wides and 1 no ball. There were a few sixes and fours hit by Ishank Mahajan, Tarik, Anuj Verma, Shashwat Bhanti and Siddharth Verma.
Till the first three overs, the defending team (second year) scored 9 runs for 3 wickets, and the match was in favor of the 1st years. However, Siddharth Verma brought the match back in favor of the senior team and displayed a bleak form of hope. This placed the juniors under tremendous amount of pressure. However, the winning team came back strong and restricted the runs till the last over.
The day also witnessed an astounding match between the IMT faculty and the first year students. Although, the faculty put up a great game show, the students of the first year, led by Shivankit, won the event.
