Match1 :
HCCA Starz won the toss and elected to bat. The playing conditions were very cold and rainy. Team risked batting first but they did set a very good target of 199. Rohan, Sujith started steady with Vrishan hitting a fine knock of 69.
ASG commanders, opposition team were bundled out for 157. Saif got his fifer as well and bundled the tail pretty quickly. Vrishan was MoM.

Match2 :
HCCA Starz won the toss for the 2nd time and elected to bat.
Our top order fired and everybody contributed very well. Sujith and Laksh started the innings with skipper hitting 65. Then the middle order was well supported by Rohan, Vishan and Aneesh. Target was set to 189.
Criclanes Supergiants team were done and dusted for 136. Sahil as enforcer and Anay opened the bowling attack.

Match3 :
HCCA starz won the toss for 3rd time in row and elected to bat. The template to set a high score batting first is what team wanted to follow. But this was a low scoring yet rivetting game. We scored 124 runs and target was set to 125 in 30 overs which seemed pretty small. Saif played the innings of the tournament for us hitting a match winning knock of 30 runs. Sri supported Saif as well and final wicket partnership scored 50 odd runs. All the spinners took 2-3 wickets each with Sujith getting 3 wickets. He was adjudged as MoM. But skipper handed over his MoM trophy to Saif - for his stellar innings at the end of the game. HCCA won the match by 11 runs restricting opposition team.
Truly this was incredible display of never say die attitude from the blokes.

Match4 :
With first 3 wins, HCCA Starz were placed for 3rd/4th position game and faced NACA Hawks.
Again winning the toss, we chose to bat first. Barring Sujith and Keerthan our batting was exposed. Also the playing conditions were extremely cold and windy which was challenging. NACA Hawks won the match with almost 6 overs to spare. We did have plenty of chances to capitalize on, but unfortunately things did not go our way.

Special thanks to Peyoosh and Madhavi Jain for streaming the games. Rain or shine or wind or cold - that did NOT deter Peyoosh to setup his streaming gig sharp 10AM - at the start of the game. These streams were watched by many folks who can NOT be at the field and we highly appreciate this service.

The team was asked to bowl first and kids bowled pretty good but with few extras. Aneesh, Sidhya , Nithya and Arjun were fantastic. DYCL Cheetahs were restricted to 155. Our boys chased it very easily in 23.4 overs with Vrishan hitting 70. Rutvik played a crucial role to support opening partnership followed by Rohan. Vrishan was declared MoM.

Match2 -
https://cricclubs.com/DallasYouthCricketLeagueDYCLOfficial/viewScorecard.do?matchId=938&clubId=1001692
HCCA U13 were put to bowl/field again and they restricted the MCA conquerers to 83. Arjun, Sri and Samhit bowled beautifully to restrict the opposition team. Batting second, Vrishan scored beautifully again scoring 39 in just 29 balls and was declared MoM second time!.

Match3 -
https://cricclubs.com/DallasYouthCricketLeagueDYCLOfficial/viewScorecard.do?matchId=977&clubId=1001692
We were put to bowl again and this match was under the lights in fantastic Frisco ground. Both U13 and U15 matches were in the same field, next to each other. So HCCA group was having a gala time cheering the teams. SanDiego Bolts scored 125 batting first. The whole bowling unit was spot on with Sri being the standout supported by excellent glovework from Rohan. With the short innings break because of the looming thunderstorms, HCCA U13 started very positively Jayanth and Aneesh off the rails quickly. HCCA were 73/1 at 10 overs when the rains interrupted the match and declared as NO result. We were short of 2 overs to get a WIN by Duckworth-Lewis. Though the game was no result, the team showed exceptional performance in this game. HCCA would have played either 1st or 3rd spot, had we won this game.

During the rain break, before teams parted to their respective hotels, Mr Nandu Jalamuri activated his DJ skills and it was ecstatic to watch parents, kids dancing away to the tunes for almost 1.5 hrs with an anticipation that match would restart. Unfortunately it was no result and HCCA U13 was slated to play for 5th spot.

Match4 -
https://cricclubs.com/DallasYouthCricketLeagueDYCLOfficial/viewScorecard.do?matchId=995&clubId=1001692

For the 5th spot, we played with DYCL Cheetahs again and for the first time we were put to bat first. Aneesh and Jay started very well with Jay scoring his first 50. Few quick wickets fell but later consolidated again with Jay and Rohan's partnership of almost 100 runs. HCCA set target of 177. DYCL were bundled very quickly for paltry 67 runs in just 16.5 overs. Aneesh had his first fifer and was aptly declared MoM. Our bowling was on the spot and contained the scoring very well in searing heat of 105F.

We thank the tournament organizers, Coach Sherwin, Coach Tejo and all the enthusiastic parents who made this trip memorable. The moms, the dads and kids had several bonding times with pool parties, luncheons and more. We as HCCA youth teams have come a very long way now after close to 3 years of practice, several practice games, coaching sessions specially for youth. Their consistent victories and remarkable performances have solidified HCCA's reputation as one of the most accomplished and dominant cricket teams in Austin,TX area.

HCCA won the super over with Aneesh hitting the last ball boundary. Sujith was declared MoM for his superlative batting performance and 2nd successive half century.

HCCA bowling unit was excellent with 10 players bowling in tandem and almost had the match in their kitty. Few fielding mistakes cost us and the game was won by HYCC Houston.

Because HCCA U15 had won 2/3 games, we faced NTCA titans for 3rd position.
Match 4: https://cricclubs.com/NTCAYouth/viewScorecard.do?matchId=8480&clubId=30913
HCCA batted first again and saw a different level of cricket in their final game. HCCA were bundled out for 40. The players saw some searing pace by the opposition team but few handled well, specially Arush taking extraordinary 72 balls with his rock solid defense. NTCA titans comfortably chased and won the game.

Overall it was wonderful outing for the HCCA U15 team in Dallas. We thank tournament organizers. We also thank all the parents, coaches, managers and most importantly the players who played their heart out. HCCA youth continues to fly high playing competitive cricket. Our motto to continue to learn, practice, play hard and fair is evident in these tournaments. The icing on the cake of this journey was Sujith being adjudged Best Batter of the tournament with 3 half centuries.
