Kolkata Tigers v Mumbai Champs
Indian Cricket League 2007 Season News
Kolkata Tigers beat Mumbai Champs by 2 runs
Mar 12, 2008
The Kolkata Tigers won a thriller by 2 runs handing Mumbai Champs their second straight defeat in the Edelweiss 20s Challenge at Panchkula on Wednesday.
Andre Adams was declared Man of the Match for his allround performance.
The pitch report had the experts declare the pitch as dry with low bounce. Craig Mcmillan, the Tigers captain, won the toss and elected to bat.
The Tigers opened the innings with Subhomoy Das and Lance Klusener. Das got into the act right away sending the ball to the ropes twice in the first over of Van der Wath.
Tino Best got the first break with a fast delivery castling Klusener in the 4th over for 9. At the end of the fifth over the Tigers were placed at 35 /1.
Astle brought on medium pacer Khird in the 7th over and he responded with a wicket on the very first ball that he bowled, getting Das for 21.
Kasprowicz who was hit for a couple of boundaries in his previous over got right back into the game clean bowling the dangerous Tigers captain McMillan in the 10th over.
By the end of the 10th over the match turned into a keen contest between the bat and the ball, with the Tigers placed at 67/3. The promising Jhunjhunwala was looking good in the company of experienced Rohan Gavaskar, till a rush of blood saw him getting out to a smart piece of stumping by Paul off the impressive bowling of Khirid in the 14th over.
At the end of the 15th over the Tigers were placed at 102/4. Gavaskar was the mainstay of the Tigers batting, but the boundaries were hard to come by. The hard hitting Andre Adams came to the party clubbing two big sixes of the final Best over. The Tigers innings finally folded at 146/5 in 20 overs.
The Mumbai Champs reply started on a shaky note with opener Jayanta being castled by Adams in the first over.
The newly promoted opener S Paul along with Raviraj Patil was in a positive mood displaying an array of strokes taking the score to 34/1 at the end of the 4th over.
Patil especially was in an aggressive mood showing scant respect for the reputed opposition bowlers, stroking some audacious strokes all across the park. The courageous partnership came to an end when the Tigers captain got the dangerous Patil out for a well made 52 in the 10th over.
At the 11th over the Champs were well placed at 87/2 with captain Nathan Astle and Paul battling it out for the Champs. Some tight overs in the middle of the innings from experienced Klusener and McMillan brought the Tigers back into the game.
At the end of the 15th over the Champs were placed at 102/3, needing 45 off the last 5 overs at 9 runs per over. Astle played some big shots but a rash stroke brought an end to his promising innings of 30, which changed the fortunes for Champs.
A mini collapse with quick wickets of Van der Wath, Powar and Khanolkar reduced the Champs to 130/6 in the 17th over, taking the match right down to the wire.
The Champs needed 9 runs off the last over from the quick Hayward. It proved too big a task for the lower order batsmen and finally the Champs fell short of the target by 2 runs.

And they said..August 2007
 I really do not know exactly why the BCCI has shown scant interest in me.
Erapalli Prasanna, talking to Rediff.
New Zealand Cricket cannot agree to release our contracted players to participate in the ICL.
NZC Chief Executive Justin Vaughan.
If it is true that they have signed up, then losing Yousuf would be the biggest blow to Pakistan cricket.
Shafqat Naghmi, PCB's chief operating officer.
This is the cream of the country.
Kapil Dev, Chairman of ICL's executive board.
I thought of all the pros and cons... This gives me very good security.
Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, the young Bengal batsman who signed up.
