Intel organizes cricket match between UITTA and Sri Lanka

Dehradun-based Uttaranchal

IT Traders Association (UITTA) played a T20 cricket match with Sri

Lanka under 19 cricket team recently. Arranged by the executive

committee of the UITTA, in collaboration with the Global Uttrakhand

T20 Cricket Society, the event was sponsored by chipset giant, Intel.

UITTA won the toss and elected to bat.

The opening pair of

Shekhar and Devesh did not last long under the pace attack from the

young and aggressive Sri Lankans, but then the UITTA team steadied

down with Vikas Dewan and Gurmeet Singh, adding a valuable 50 runs

partnership together before Mittu was bowled by the off-spinning

delivery by Matthews.

UITTA scored 110 runs for

9 wickets in 20 overs, while Vikas dewan alone contributed 52 runs

and remained not out. The Sri Lankan team won the match in just 12

overs with a loss of only one wicket. According to Balbir Rathore,

President of UITTA, the association is planning to organize a similar

match with the visiting Australia under 19 team in February, 2011.
