Hello!
 
My Sweet and Sour Readers,

​

Today is the first match of Asia World Cup! Yes, its exciting and for many team players it can be a time of uncertainty and heart throbbing moment.

Both teams, waiting patiently to play to win and move forward towards the finals.

 

Samara one of the most elegant and experienced host took her station, to host the first match of the tournament.

 

Swords of Sultan team, were first to open with the batting on the glorious green field stadium, while Joyful Riders were ready to bowl in the first innings. Both teams were confident, but in this game there is only one winner at the end of match!

 

1st Innings

​

Daisy sweetheart of the team was so sorry, to make the highest score for her team by 29 runs. Followed by the lovely Koyal making 26 runs. 

There were 2 duckies in the pond Snowflakes and myself, Bonny.

Altogether the 8 players, in the team of Swords of Sultan, collectively made 96 runs between them making a target of 97 runs for the opponent team. Koyal, last batsperson was, not out.

 

Joyful Riders bowlers,  John in 1st over took 1 wkt, 2nd over Anikool took 1 wkt, In 3rd over the "dashing and handsome" Sidharth of the team displayed magnificent bowling, took 3 wkts.

Sweet Muskaan, a very experienced all rounder, took 2 wkts in the last 4th over.

 

 

2nd Innings

​

In the 2nd innings Joyful Riders Captain John, were ready and eager to demolish the opponent team Swords of Sultan.

In the first over Nikita "ko jor se jhatka laga" by the aggressive bowler Ishara on the first ball and was knocked out of the stadium.  

 

John the Captain, who had "swallowed a jar of happy pills" for the team made the highest score of 24 runs.

Sophisticated Safiullah made 22 runs and Anikool "wannabe Romeo" made 20 runs.

 
Altogether the team of Joyful Riders made 100 runs with a victorious win over Swords of Sultan. John and Anikool  were not out.

 

Swords of Sultan bowlers, bold Ishara took 2 wkts in her 1st over. MrCi, the "cha cha cha" wide dancer, took 3 magnificent wkts in the 2nd over and graceful Snowflakes took 1 wkt in her 3rd over. 

 

There were two duckies from the team of Joyful Riders Nikita and Ms Giggles.

Unfortunately, Bonny "by default", took 0 wkts in the 4th over, bowling skills did not support her today! Sorry my team mates.

 

Its not checkmate yet for the team of Swords of Sultan, we still got one more move left to make!

 

On the whole, the match was very sober and enjoyable to watch. We entire Blue Horse Club Official members would like to congratulate Joyful Riders  on their first winning of the match. Well done!

 

I also would like to add, how graceful the team Captain of Swords of Sultan Sonu's reaction was to loose his first match.

The new "Clint Eastwood" image look, Sonu was cool, calm and collective, was happy with the his team-mates performance.

 

Even though Joyful Riders won the match, few of their team players behaviour, did not go unnoticed after the match was over. 

There was trolling from the team of Joyful Riders which is not a good sportsmanship on any account.

 

Meanness is ugly, so please refrain from it in future. Thank you!

As I said, I will report the good, the bad and the ugly!
