Our boys have made it...!!!
It was the dream of Karnataka Bulldozers to win the CCL and though the team had entered the finals last two times, it had lost to various reasons. Now the Karnataka Bulldozers has not only fulfilled its dream but also the dream of crores of Kannadigas by winning the CCL.
The KBs opted to bat first and scored 148 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 20 overs. Dhruv and Manjunath played a magnificent innings by scoring 54 and 45 runs respectively. The Telugu Warriors though had wickets in hand, opted not to take any risks and tried to play a safe game through out and managed to get only 122 runs at the loss of 7 wickets hereby losing the game to Karnataka Bulldozers.
The celebrity team from the State, Karnataka Bulldozers have created a unique record. They have become the only team to reach the finals of all three editions of the Celebrity Cricket League. Bulldozers were runners up in the previous two editions. They comfortably won their semi-finals against Kerala Strikers played in Hyderabad today. The match concluded minutes ago and once again Dhruv Sharma played a stellar innings to take the team close to victory. However he fell for 53 less than 20 runs short of victory. Karnataka Bulldozers will now face the winners of the second semifinals between Telugu Warriors and Veer Marathi.
The Karnataka match was advanced by an hour. The match started at 2 pm instead of 3 pm. Kerala had beaten Karnataka in the league match. They won the toss and elected to bat as they had easily chased a huge score by losing only 3 wickets in the league match. But some tight bowling and fielding and aggressive captaincy by Sudeep restricted them to only 130 for 9 in 20 overs.
