Second match of Anchor Premier League, GreatWhite Tuskers won the toss and elected to bat first against Epiphany Dragons. Both teams were hunting for a win after a disappointing performance in ACC 4.0.
As the top order failed for the Tuskers it was the middle order batsmen, Jaymin Mehta & Captain, Pratik Chitalia who carried the baton for the team. Tuskers managed to put up 155 runs on the board and looked up to the bowlers to defend this par score on the slow wicket of Khalsa Cricket Ground.
With debutant Rohan Chhajed at crease, Epiphany Dragons started off with a storm. Scoring a formidable 61 of 55, Rohan Chhajed was looking to seal the win early but to his disappointment got out to Vishal Madlani with the team needing only 17 runs to win. Wicket-keeper batsman Ajit Nair along with Rohan brought out the fireworks scoring 52 of 24 and finished off in style with a SIX!    
Tapan Mehta was super excited with this convincing win and looking to win convincingly against Kangaroos over the weekend.

Starting off with the first match on the 6th of January 2021, Jaguars open their account with a Win, connecting their name to the Anchor worked for the team. Athletic Kangaroos could not match up to their playing excellence.

Anchor Jaguars: Coming Back after a year’s hiatus the Jaguars looked all prepped up with Kyan Bharucha & Vishal Patel as their debutants in Sportobuddy’s Anchor City Championship 2021.
 
After winning the toss, the Kangaroos decided to bat first to set a promising total for the Jaguars to chase. Shams Lakhani & Akshay Tungare both collapsed early, it was Jigar Soni who scored a speedy knock of 31 off 14 balls. Kangaroos were held to 141 runs which was probably 20 to 25 runs short of a good fighting total.

Opening with Kyan Bharucha the Jaguars expected him to threaten the opposition but failing to do so Kyan fell short as a top-order batsman scoring a meagre total of 17 off 12 balls. Finally, it was the middle order with Vishal Majmudar took Anchor Jaguars home. Vishal Majmudar was Man of the Match for his 50 runs from 32 balls.

Athletic Kangaroos have promised to bounce back harder in their next match, lets see if Dhrumal Parikh can stop his loosing spree.

In an unexpected turn of events, among all the action brewing this new season of Anchor City Championship, Season 4. The latest news making waves according to sources: Pratik Chitalia will not be leading, Raging Rhinos- Juhu this season 4 of Anchor City Championship.

The young and fiery Pavan Patheja is the newly crowned captain and will now be leading the team this new season. Vishal Merwana would be the second in command and have taken up the role of vice-captain of Raging Rhinos – Juhu. This strategic takeover news will see a lot of movement on the Anchor City Championship board and will have others looking out for the newly reinforced Rhinos and their battle plan.  

Though, Pratik and key decision-makers in the Rhinos Bootcamp, see it as a welcome change, which is devised to give their team the much-required boost. We’re guessing a lot will be left to the performance from the new men coming in and taking charge.   

Sportobuddy wishes Pavan Patheja and Vishal Merwana success in their journey in 2019-20.

We've heard people say, it's all in the name and as the name suggests we at "Sportobuddy", thrive on making the field of sports more endearing, as it's our constant endeavour to try to instil a sense of sport in our everyday lives with all that we do.

Well, at least that's the philosophy of it all. Though for those curious buds wanting to deep dive further, please refer to our blog.

The thought stemmed from the need of celebrating a journey and strengthening human bonds while latching alongside the spirit of the beautiful game. Cricket was the rider championing the cause when musing about the workability and design this unique concept.

This was a journey of the shaping of a heartfelt idea worth remembering as much for its creators and as much joy it will be for those involved in developing it, and even more for those participating in it; we hope. Today, the need of the hour beckons more than just team bonding.

The turf is ready, and the game is on and Are you ready? Ready to face the call of the challenge. It’s time to be a sport and test the mettle of your bond. Through this concept, we’re going to put this chemistry to test on the turf, though this challenge.

The uniqueness of this concept is that it will be played between these duos who will be battling it out against the other duos who will either be bowling or fielding. Eventually, each set of pair on the field, each pair at a given time, take their chance of getting a hit in the middle they then defend whilst assuming fielding or bowling positions.

So, it's a Duo Vs Duo. Well If this doesn't manage to tickle your sport buds. We thought maybe a round-robin would be an interesting twist. The game goes progressing and eventually, one duo will triumph. This could be you, and this could be your chance of grabbing this opportunity.

The eight qualifying teams were eagerly awaiting the quarterfinals of Anchor Premier League, which took place yesterday. Exceptional performances were seen by each of the eight teams, keeping the spectators gripped onto the matches from beginning to the end. Unfortunately, only four teams could qualify for the semifinals.

Sportobuddy congratulates Roaring Lions (Walkeshwar), Anchor Stallions (Bandra), Giant Megalodons (Central Chembur) and Deadly Scorpions (Kemps Corner) for playing some fantastic cricket yesterday and wishes them all the best for tomorrow, where they will be battling it out for a place in the Final.

Quarterfinal 1 saw Roaring Lions who sneaked into the quarterfinals defeat one of the best, if not the best team Raging Rhinos with the help of some power hitting by Shailesh Maniyar. Raging Rhinos think they lost because of the early morning conditions but Captain, Pratik Chitalia doesn’t agree to that and has promised to bounce back harder in My Father My Anchor.

Quarterfinal 2 saw Anchor Stallions narrowly defeat Wild Zebras with the help of a brilliant all-round performance by Sujit Sawant. There was a ray of hope for Wild Zebras with Anchor Stallions' slow over rate but that was also ruled out by the umpires. There are huge expectations from Anchor Stallions and Captain, Siddharth Bihani to lift the trophy.

Quarterfinal 3 saw Giant Megalodons with the help of Vishal Pandey live up to their name by hammering Brawny Bulls, bowling them out in just 11.2 overs. Brawny Bulls just gave up on their last two matches. We hope they bounce back in My Father My Anchor.

Quarterfinal 4, a nail-biting match where Deadly Scorpions just crossed the line by defeating Fierce Mustangs on the last ball in one of the closest matches Anchor Premier League has seen. Sahil Shah was instrumental in restricting Fierce Mustangs to a respectable total and Sagar Masrani helped them finish the game in style. Sagar Masrani displayed the first Greatwhite Switch Shot in this match. And kudos to Vishal Shah who led Fierce Mustangs yesterday for their performance in a worthy quarterfinal match, both teams deserved to win but there could only be one winner. Once they have their full squad back, we can expect bigger fireworks in My Father My Anchor.

Will Giant Megalodons make it two in a row after their Anchor Perfect 10 capture or will Deadly Scorpions end their impressive run? And will Roaring Lions' fairytale run continue, or will the seasoned amateurs Anchor Stallions mark their spot in the finals of Anchor Premier League 2019?

Who do you think will be one step closer to lifting that beautiful Anchor Premier League trophy?

Stay tuned to Sportobulletin to find out!

A big upset of APL 2019 saw Raging Rhinos (Juhu) get thrashed in just 7.3 overs. Captain Pratik Chitalia looked dejected with the unworthy performance of his team as the team walked off the field in just 30 minutes after losing all their wickets.
Did their over confidence and superiority complex get the better of them?

On the other hand, a big shout out to the bowling side of Brawny Bulls (Dadar). It seemed like Mehul Vira had cast his spell and taken 5 wickets in 3 overs, leaving the top class batsmen of Raging Rhinos (Juhu) speechless, who felt that 200 runs in this match was a no-brainer. Priyank Vira was also very effective in taking 4 beautiful wickets, and playing an essential part in leading Brawny Bulls (Dadar) to one of the biggest victories of this season.

Fun Fact: Raging Rhinos (Juhu) are now the highest as well as the lowest scorers of APL 2019! 

The highest scoring game of the Anchor Premier League 2019 saw the favourites – Raging Rhinos (Juhu) set a target of 289 runs in 20 overs during their outstanding victory against Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli).
Dharmesh Anuwadia was the man of the moment and set the stage on fire, thrashing all the Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) bowlers one at a time, and scoring a total of 130 runs in just 40 balls. The match seemed like it was Dharmesh Anuwadia vs Greatwhite Tuskers, because he alone was able to take on the team in its entirety, smashing every ball that came his way out of the ground. Even the experienced bowlers of Tuskers were shocked by this spell and could not understand how to stop him.
This is a special post for Dharmesh from the Sportobuddy team to congratulate him on his performance and take a well-deserved recovery day. We hope Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) can improve on strategizing and planning and wish Raging Rhinos (Juhu) all the best for their next game.

-Ms Kalro

The underdogs of Anchor City Championship, Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) played a fantastic match against Novex Tigers (Andheri) and to the surprise of everyone managed to secure a win by 4 wickets. Captain Varun Suchdev says that he is happy with a few additional players in the team and is pumped for the Anchor Premier League. Chirag Ahir bowled a fabulous 4 overs, conceding only 2 runs and taking 4 wickets, and Vishal Karia's knock of 54 in 31 balls was instrumental in taking the team over the line. Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) is looking hopeful to compete in the International Championship to be held in May.
 However, overconfidence is the most dangerous form of carelessness. In their next match against Speedy Cheetahs (Andheri West), the Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) were thrashed when Speedy Cheetahs chased the target of 127 in just 14.3 overs. Their batting did not click right from the start and the bowling side did not manage to perform as expected. This got us thinking if their first win was just based on pure luck. The team needs to pull up their socks for the APL if they want to keep their pride intact and play the international tournament.
Here's wishing Tuskers a good recovery for their next game.

-Ms Kalro

We have come across rumors about Pratik Chitalia,  (currently the captain of Raging Rhinos in the Anchor City Championship) replacing Varun Suchdev as the Greatwhite Tusker's captain from the next season.  Pratik , who was the captain of Novex Tigers (Andheri) in the previous season, changed his team and is currently leading the Raging Rhinos (Juhu) . Now, we have the news of him changing teams again in the next season. Pratik seems to be jumping pretty soon from one team to another. 

This news might be a big shock and blow to the Raging Rhinos as they are banking on Pratik to lead the team to victory as he had led the Tigers to APL victory in the last season. 

It would be interesting to know how much Greatwhite Tuskers (Worli) is offering Pratik Chitalia for this!

Stay tuned to Sportobulletin!!

The second double header of MCMA season 2 saw JNS Jaguars and Utpal Warriors emerge victorious. 
Bhaktyar Irani (76*) continued his blistering form with the bat, helping the Jaguars to a formidable total of 206 in the allotted 20 overs. He was supported well by Rohit Saraf (51 of 27 balls). The only shining light in the AB Devils bowling side was their captain Kunal Photographer, who was good with the ball returning with excellent figures of 4 overs 20 runs and 1 wicket. In reply, AB Devils could only manage 119 runs, handing a big 87 run victory to the Jaguars. With this win JNS Jaguars sit comfortably at the top of the table in their group. 
The match under the lights between AVM Yodhas and Utpal Warriors was a nail biting one. AVM Yodhas won the toss and elected to bat first. Utpal Warriors were great with the ball and restricted AVM Yodhas to a below par score of 149 in 20 overs. In retaliation, Utpal Warriors started their batting with a bang. Chasing a bonus point, the batsmen were aggressive from the word ‘Go’ and each of them played a great knock, defining team sprit and managing to secure the win with a bonus point. 

-Ms. Kalro

 The second season of MCMA began yesterday just as we expected - in full swing. JNS Jaguars opening batsman Bhaktyar Irani played an outstanding innings, and led his team to a fabulous victory, washing off their opponents, MRV Risers. Bhaktyar scored 87 runs off just 61 balls , hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes. Jeetinder Diwan complemented Bhaktyar with a wonderful innings of 83 runs off 39 balls. 
The second match between United Daredevils and JNS Young Veterans was also captivating as Neel Parikh from JNS Veterans played a wonderful innings of 45 runs off 38 balls , slashing 6 boundaries. Jaymin Mehta helped the team win comfortably by taking 3 wickets. Ram Verma's spell of 55 runs and 2 wickets failed to lead the team to victory.

Sportobuddy congratulates these achievers on their rocking performances.

We look forward to have more such exciting matches throughout MCMA!

According to Fiery Falcons (Santacruz) player, Aditya Sharma, Falcons are looking forward to the start of the Anchor Premier League. For them, cricket is about getting to play and enjoying the sport.Most of the players in Falcons have a busy schedule and don’t get time to play. They express their gratitude to Sportobuddy for letting them get out into the field and relive their sporting passion.It was a good run for them in AP10, though they couldn’t make it to the qualifiers, but they are ready to take this experience forward and lift the APL championship trophy. Aditya says their strategy is - Play and Attack!

-Ms Kalro

 Pratik Chitalia, captain of Raging Rhinos(Juhu), in an interview,has provided us with some interesting information. He is firstly very proud and happy with his team and it's players. As we all know, they lost a very close game against the Kaira Coyotes(Goregaon) ,which was the decider game. 
Nevertheless, that is behind them and they look forward to a good performance in the Anchor Premier League . They are going to go ahead with the same squad as the previous 2 leagues. They have always been a good side , performing fairly and with full team spirit. 
They have a few injured players at the moment but they will be back with a bang by the time the APL starts. Pratik also says that there is so much talent in the team that at times , it gets difficult to decide who to play. 
Also, they are extremely confident that they will win against Kaira coyotes the next time they face off and they look forward to it.
It is a challenge from raging Rhinos to Kaira Coyotes!!
Sportobuddy wishes Raging Rhinos good luck for the Anchor Premier League.   

Ms Tanu

Jaymin Mehta from Power Panthers(Nepean Sea Road) , as we write this today, is celebrating his birthday and we have some news to share on this day.  He is rumored to play for Novex Tigers from the Anchor Premier League 2019. 
Yash Doshi is now looking for 2 all-rounders to balance his team after this and the previous exits. We still await his final squad for the Anchor Premier League.
Sportobuddy wishes Jaymin Mehta a Happy Birthday and also wishes Power Panthers a successful season !!

Ms Tanu

According to sources, captain of the Athletic Kangaroos(Chowpatty), Dhrumal Parikh has initiated team bonding sessions in early January to improve on-ground team spirit and co-ordination ahead of the  Anchor Premier League.They have decided to take the ACC very seriously as they feel they have what it takes to qualify for the AICT in Thailand,as all of them are very excited to go to Bangkok!  
Sportobuddy thinks other teams should use the Athletic Kangaroos as an example and step up their game.

Ms Kalro

A gripping final between Giant Megalodons (Central Chembur) and Roaring Lions (Walkeshwar) on 12th December, saw the Giant Megalodons (Central Chembur) emerge victorious. It was a thrilling game that went on till the very end with the Megalodons winning by only one run. It was a matter of just two catches or Ankit Bhalaria would have taken the trophy for his team, Roaring Lions (Walkeshwar). We congratulate Giant Megalodons (Central Chembur) on their win and wish all other teams 
good luck for the Anchor Premier League.

-Ms Tanu & Ms Kalro signing off from APT

A sad let down by the Kaira Coyotes(Goregaon) in the knock-out match between Kaira Coyotes(Goregaon) and Giant Megalodons(Central Chembur) last evening. 
Despite a brilliant performance throughout Anchor Super Fast  & Anchor Perfect 10, Kaira Coyotes(Goregaon), one of the best teams of Anchor City Championship was knocked in quarter finals in Anchor Perfect 10. 

Captain Faisal Patel gifted the match to Giant Megalodons(Central Chembur) when he broke the record of the Pakistani bowler Mohammad Sami of the most number of balls in an over. Faisal bowled a 32 balls over and conceded 30 runs with 15 wides and 2 no balls. 

This is why the headline bizarre, as it was a knock out game to Championship. We are eagerly waiting for a comeback from the Coyotes in the Anchor Premier League.   

- Ms Tanu & Ms Kalro

As we come to an end of the Anchor Perfect 10, we have some exciting knock-out matches tomorrow . We have had some thrilling games in the league stage and we couldn't be less excited for the upcoming games.  

Will the Kaira Coyotes(Goregaon) be able to kill or will the Giant Megalodons (Central Chembur) eat them for dinner?
Will the Super Eagles(Parel) soar higher or will they be ripped apart by the Novex Tigers (Andheri)?
Will the Invincible Kiwis (Prabhadevi) stay invincible or will they succumb to the might of the Roaring Lions (Walkeshwar)?

Which 4 teams do you think will make it the the semi-finals of the APT?
Join us tomorrow to support your favourites.

Ms Tanu & Ms Kalro

Despite having a good team, there was no stunning comeback from the Tuskers. There was lack of co-ordination among the team members and also lack of seriousness as a few players did not show up for the match including the team owner Mr. Mehul Shah. Varun Suchdev played a captains knock, but the efforts went in vain. As for Karan Joshi, who had built high expectations, aggregated negative score as his bails went flying on the first ball of the innings. Vinod Lund was pleasantly surprised with his team performance and is very optimistic on winning the next one- " Anchor Premier League".

Ms Tanu  

Deadly Scorpions(Kemps Corner), runners-up of the Anchor Super Fast fail to qualify for the qualification round of the Anchor Perfect 10 as they have been knocked out in the league stage itself.  
Invincible Kiwis(Prabhadevi) thrashed them by 35 runs and also acquired a bonus point twice in the league stage, practically knocking the Deadly Scorpions(Kemps Corner) out of the tournament and proving to be truly invincible!! Captain Chetan Kapoor is confident of his team winning in the next round of qualification.

Ms Kalro

Absence of a few key players for a crucial match led to a dismal performance by the Bombay Devil's Stallions (Bandra), crashing them out of the Anchor Perfect 10 with a massive loss to Giant Megalodons(Central Chembur). Captain of the Bombay Devils Stallions, Siddharth Bihani was seen leaving the ground with his head held low and the team looked utterly dejected. Further to the result of this match, Giant Megalodons(Central Chembur) have qualified for the qualification round of Anchor Perfect 10 with a loud victory. 
Do you think Stallions can make a come back in the Anchor Premiere League?

Ms Tanu

Acting captain for the day - Kinjan Vasant of Brawny Bulls walked  onto the field ready to smash Deadly Scorpions only to find his team knocked out of Anchor Perfect 10, 2018. Kinjan admitted that his team lost the game due to the team’s overconfidence. Thus, their domination ended with the team failing to qualify for the final round. With this result, both Bulls and Scorpions are knocked out of the Anchor Perfect 10. Sportobuddy wishes Brawny Bulls, Dadar and Deadly Scorpions, Kemps Corner better luck for the Anchor Premier League.

Ms Kalro

Due to inconsistent captaincy and bad team performance in NSCI Tournaments(MPL-2018 and NCL 1-2018), Greatwhite has decided to go with a new captain in NCL 2 - 2019. Greatwhite wants Varun to concentrate on his batting and give his best on the field. We look forward to bigger innings from Varun Suchdev in Anchor Premier League and NCL 2 - 2019. Although Greatwhite has decided to retain Karan Joshi as the coach of the team for next two tournaments.

Inputs from the Athletic Kangaroo's Captain Dhrumal Parekh, due to inconsistent wicket keeping Kunal Bhatia might be dropped from his next two crucial matches in Anchor Perfect Ten. Kunal has been struggling with his form off late and needs to pull up his socks before Anchor Premier League starts in January / February 2019. This team from Chowpatty really needs Kunal Bhatia back in form.
