ODB lost by 1 run in a thriller vs Hilton/Bicton. Bowling first we did a great job keeping them to 167 with Captain Suneeth Vinod Suseela leading the way with 5/21 along with Asish C Thomas taking 2/21, but 27 wides would prove costly. The run chase started badly losing 2 quick wickets but Sethuraj Rajendran would play a brilliant innings making 76 from 99 balls along with Asish C Thomas with 23 we would take it into the last over, needing 8 off the last over with 1 wicket in hand we could only muster 6 runs to miss out by the barest of margins. We still stay second on the ladder with one big game next week.
