UK won the toss and elected to field. FCC after a good start, lost regular wickets (K2 scalping 4) and scored 124/10 in 31 overs. UKCC played with its batting line up for the middle order to practice and found an upcoming setting batsman. With Abhijit's cramps from the extremely moist weather, and Akki's departure from just 4 balls, set in a certain panic among the group. The experience of Hari to stand with the lower middle order saw the game through for UKCC. Here is the link for the scorecard.
