19 February 2012, IISc Gymkhana Ground, Bangalore: Living up to the tag of defending champions, IISc ruthlessly trampled MES College - belting a mammoth 207/6 in 25 overs and then dismissing the visitors for 139 - in their opening match of the IISc Centenary Cricket Cup 2012.
Choosing to bat first, Kiran (44) and Vikram (55) posted a 116-run blitzkrieg opening stand in 13 overs. Ashith (36), Salil (21) and Varun (22) continued the good work culminating in an colossal total of 207. For MES, Siri (3/34) claimed a three-for.
A required rate of more than eight an over was too much of an ask for the MES batsmen and they succumbed under the pressure. Nagging spells from Arindam (4/14), Ashutosh (2/36) and Anirudha (2/14) helped the hosts bundle out the opposition for 139 runs thus completing a 68-run victory.
