🏆 Another Convincing Win for Team Troopers!
On a hot and sunny Sunday, the Troopers won the toss and chose to bat first against MCC-II. Regular openers Rohit and Avi walked out, but Rohit’s stay was short-lived as he was adjudged LBW on just the second ball of the innings.
Avi and Sasi attempted to rebuild, but the batting lineup continued to collapse under pressure, and BATCC-I found themselves struggling at 68/6. However, a resilient effort by Vineep, with valuable contributions from MD Talha and Harris Ali, helped push the total to a defendable 134 runs before being bowled out in the 33rd over.
🎯 Bowling Performance: Turning the Tide
If the batting effort was shaky, the bowling response was nothing short of clinical domination.
Led by the fast-bowling trio — the “AAA Battery” — Amit, Abdul, and Essa delivered an unrelenting pace attack that tore through MCC-II’s top order. Their sheer pace, aggression, and relentless pressure broke the back of the chase.
-
Amit – 3/28
-
Abdul – 3/19 (also adjudged Man of the Match)

Together, they left MCC-II in tatters.
Rohit redeemed his batting failure by taking the final wicket, while the fielding unit remained sharp and energetic throughout.
