-By our special correspondent, Anurag Jain
A rematch after the washout of 3rd June was organized with SUNY Albany with Zohair and Sairam
playing for them. RPI battted first and amassed 272/7 in 30 overs, our highest 30 overs total, Satya
making 60, Ravi 43 and everybody else contributing (>20). There were beautiful cameos by Rishi and
Rahul Shah in the end to push the score past 9 rpo.
SUNY started good but Zohair got out to a beautiful running catch by Rahul Motasha on my bowling,
it would be 2nd best catch I have seen after Shri's in New Haven in 99 or may be Harsha's in
Wesleyan in ‘00. Then the destroyer in chief Rahul Shah cleaned up Sairam and others. He got his 2nd
5 wicket haul. Aravind had good game making 22 and picking 2 wickets in end. Rahul M. and
Kaustabh got one each too. Won by 144 runs, second largest win for RPI.
Rahul S. has 24 wickets in 8 games and would be fastest to reach 25 wickets for RPI. Yours faithfully
got to his 50th wicket but only in 37th match.
