We are happy to announce that the IE Cricket Club, that has recently registered to Spain Cricket League, has won its first game against Madrid Cricket Club in Sonseca on Sunday, March 8. It was their first match and the team won it for IE!!
Aniket Srivastava, the President of the IE Cricket Club shared his impressions with Campus Life:
Manan Poddar won the toss for IE and elected to field first, as we restricted the opposition at 135/8 in 20 overs.
It was an excellent team effort on the field, complimented by great bowling by our bowlers, with a special mention of Joel & Ankit for excellent bowling, who were very well supported by other bowlers from different end. Following the target, our opening order collapsed and we lost 2 wickets within first few overs, but then a great batting by Vignesh who anchored the innings making 40 runs, as we successfully chased the target by 19th over making 139/8 and winning our first game 🙂
*Figures from our performance Vignesh Sivanandam (40 runs), Ankit Loya (20 runs, 4wickets) & Joel Mathew (11 runs, 2 wickets), Mridul Singhania (2 wickets).
Congratulations, team! You are making IE proud!!!
