Post-Match Update: Caltech vs UCLA hosted by Caltech at El Monte Cricket Ground on Feb 1st 2020

Caltech won the toss and elected to bowl.
UCLA scored 152/4 in 20 overs, with Pratyush scoring 59 runs. Vignesh(22 in 4 overs) and Nachi(29/2 in 4 overs) from Caltech were the star bowlers with lowest economy rates. Despite a few dropped catches early in the match, a spectacular skier take by keeper Jag to dislodge danger batsman Nihar was one of the defining moments.

Caltech started the chase on a weak note with 14/4 at the end of five overs. Shashank(97*) and Sumit(31) played with steely resolve to build a game-winning 100 run partnership, and Shashank finished the match with an over to spare. Caltech won with 153/6 in 19 overs. More pictures from the win coming soon!

Update from this weekend's NCCA Pacific Zonal:

Caltech went 1(W)-2(L) in their group stage games, placing 3rd in our group. Unfortunately, this means we did not qualify for the playoff games next week. However, the tournament was an important learning experience for the team. Losses are tough, but we came back strong from them to win our day 2 game convincingly. More importantly, this weekend marked the first time in the club's history that Caltech has been invited to play at a national level cricket tournament. We're on their radar, and we're here to stay!

PS: Pictures from the tournament coming soon!
