CC pique DD to the finish

Before they knew it, the devas were all out for a triple Nelson - 111.

After the first Modelmodak timeout, Indra sent in Sanaka to dismiss both the openers. However, from that point on, Nahusha & Bhrigni got together, and settled down and applied themselves. bowl the 20th.

@ Blue : 111 would be just a Nelson. A triple Nelson would be 333.

@ Red: Why modelmodak?

The Glorious Gunas beat the Prized Prithivs by 4 wickets, in an Epic Match

One of the most talked about matches in the LPL, it surely did prove to be one hell of a nail-biter. The heat of the match could easily be felt, even in the Kailash Stadium's cool weather'. It was a match that placed a brother against another brother and a son against his father'.

Kartikeya won the toss and chose to bat first. Kartikeya and Tarakasur opened with a bang, with each scoring 5 fours and 3 sixes in the first 4 overs. Just when it began to appear that this partnership was going to win the match all by themselves, Tarakasur was bowled around the legs by Mahakal in the 9^th over' Kamalaksha was brought in next, but didn't prove to be of any help and returned to the pavilion with only 3 runs' Lakshman, who replaced Kamalaksha is surely a guy who knows how to play his game right! Though not as strong as the opening paternership, Kartikeya and Lakshman managed to score 50 more runs. Just short of 10 runs from scoring his double century and becoming the second player to score 200 runs (1^st being Bhasmasur) in the LPL, Kartikeya was caught behind the wickets by Ganesh in the 15^th over, and from there onward it was a downhill journey for team PP. Agatsya and Kama returned to the pavilion early with only 2 and 5 run respectively. Veerbhadra's entry did not prove to be of much help as 2 consecutive maiden overs bowled by Vayu and Tarakash, ended team PP's innings, but with a good score of 295 runs.

Team GG knew that the target set for them of 296 runs was not an easy one. The team opened with a steady partnership b/w Markandeya and Nandi' They managed score a good 75 runs, before Nandi was sent back to the pavilion by Shilpi in the 6^th over. Shilad came in to replace Nandi, but could not put up a good fight and got run out in the 8^th over, while making only 25 runs. Shani dev replaced Shilad and managed to get team GG back on track,thus keeping their hopes of winning the game alive. Tarkasur, who's batting, is considered as his greatest strength, proved himself to be an equally good fielder, when he caught Markandeya's wicket in mid-air. Team GG decided that it was time to send in their most powerful weapon to ensure their victory. Ganesh's entry sent the crowd cheering as he came out of the pavilion and took his position on the pitch. PP didn't know what hit them, as Ganesh sent 3 consecutive balls right into the stands! Shani and Ganesh went on to score 100 more runs. Unfortunately, this partnership was brought to an end, when Shani was bowled out by a brilliant spinner from Kama. With 46 run to win from just 24 balls, the chances of GG winning the match looked very slim,but Nataraj's entry to the game rocked the entire stadium. He proved himself to be very good batsman as he and Ganesh managed to hit 4 fours and 3 sixes and turned the tide around. Team PP, again proving themselves to be a team for others to watch out, managed to get the game down to a '1 ball, 2 runs situation'. But, Ganesh overcame this hurdle by hitting a boundary and winning the game by 4 wickets.
