After Winning 2nd Baireni Cricket Match!!

Eleven days of Open Inter Club Cricket league finally came to its end on Sept. 30th with “Akala Youth Club” of Galbubeshi coming out as Winner among 11 other teams. The tournament was organized by the ‘Baireni Youth Club’ of Vyas-5, Baireni, on the auspicious occasion of Dashain on their ground. Member of an Assembly Mr. Ramchandra Pokhrel attended the final match.

The finale was expected to be quite competitive but instead turned out to be very surprising as well as entertaining. The host who choosed to bat first winning the toss crumbled down with just 62 runs only on 11 overs and very confident winning team AKALA, who had brought some National T-20 Club players, entered to wrap-it-up-fast blasting the balls on just 6 overs but their plan soon nearly came to an end following their quick loss of wickets. But the cool thinking of no. 5 batsman slowing down put the great pressure on the bowlers and later went on to win the game with 5 wickets remaining.

Recently the Akala Cricket Club has come out strong and been dominating the cricket scenario in Damauli for quite long. On the previous Tournament too which was held at Damauli the club was the winner.

Later the award ceremony was held at the local school ground with big set-up, performances and later followed by the address from the former first City Mayor Tara Prasad Shrestha and other reputed people.
