KOK News Correspondent: Crusaders enter Cricket semi finals, Chess team on a roll

August 17, MDI, 00:15 AM

Good news was again on the cards as Crusaders entered cricket tournament's semi finals thanks to Section A's victory over Section B. Made to depend on the outcome of the match between the other two teams in the pool, Crusaders let their fate hang in the balance after their two round robin matches. However, a decent effort by A saw them outshine B in a close match. Though the score would not suggest that the tension was high during the closing overs, but a superb batting performance by Ketan amidst falling wickets was not enough to secure the all important win. Ketan was the lone knight in the shining armour as B folded up for 71 while chasing a gettable 89 in the 8 overs to win with a bonus point. The fall of wickets around him was the major reason for the loss. However, this loss meant that Crusaders can now look forward to a match up with PGPIM today. Incidently, PGPIM won their last league match against Section D to finish on top of group B. Now all eyes are set on the first semi finals between PGPIM and Camineys.

In some other news, Camineys defeated A 3-0 in Chess to make a grand entry in the Finals, on aggregate (6-0), of the Chess tournament. There was no competition as Kandarp, Singhi and Amruteshwar won their respective matches.
