 [Other Notable Facts: (from Rajeev I, the umpire) --  Beaverton Tigers fielding was so good that they held on to almost all catch expect for two difficult chances. There was one amazing catch thanks to presence of mind from Kris who took the catch on the second attempt after it bounced off from Vishal. Captain Vikrant of Beaverton led the team by example by saving some runs with his fielding and taking some sharp catches. There was one hit wicket dismissal in Multnomah innings. The unlucky guy was Lokesh Popli who until then was going great..He completed the pull shot but could not balance himself and fell on the wicket only to get out as hit wicket. In both the innings top scorer was extras. However, MCC was very generous in their bowling with extras comprising 50 runs out of the target 117 runs. (From Vikrant B, Captain of Tigers) - Beaverton Tigers won toss and put Multnomah into bat on a hot sunny afternoon. Babu got the breakthrough with the new ball by getting Zafar caught behind in a fiery first spell. Bhaskar with his tight middle stump line gave nothing away got couple of wickets. Nishant kept the score ticking with his mix of aggression and caution. At the break game was evenly balances, but after the break Adi was introduced into the attack and MCC dramatically collapsed. Adi a veteran of BCC who used to Keep ran through the middle and lower order by his slow loopy deliveries and took a 5 for. from 56 for 3 MCC went to 80/8 and eventually ended to 117.  Tigers chasing a low score started with their own mini collapse with 2 wickets in first over. Shuaib bowled a great spell of swing bowling and took 3 to bring the game back to life but VIkrant, Vijay M and Vishal played good knocks to take Tigers home with a few overs to spare.]
