Super 8 is the annual cricket intra-college
tournament held at FORE.
Like previous years, the contest drew
participation from cricket buffs from the the 1st and 2nd
years. The tournament kicked off on the 8th of August, and drew
participation from 12 teams of eight players each. The teams were divided into
4 groups of three teams , with the top two teams from each group advancing to
compete in the quarter-finals. Teams put their best foot forward to grab the 4
semi-final berths.
After two weeks of non-stopping cricket
action, four teams finally made it. In order to up the ante, team FSD increased
the number of overs from 8 to 10 for the semi-finals and the finals. The final match saw Mental Warriors and Underdogs
fight it out on the cricket pitch to take the top prize. The Underdogs started
the game and set a competitive target of 75 runs for their opponents. Anuj was
the standout player for the Underdogs and contributed 37 runs to his team’s
total, hitting five 4s in the process. Sarthak (Mental Warriors) posted
impressive bowling figures for his team (3overs, 3 wickets and 16 runs
conceded).
The chasing team however, held their own
and chased the target in 31 balls only, losing two wickets in the process. Calm
and composed knocks by Amit and Sarthak (34 and 30 respectively) took their
team across the finish line. Sarthak Vij took the Man of the Match prize for
his all round performance.

All matches in the tournament were played
with exemplary sportsmanship. Since this was the first sports event for the new
batch of 2013-15, team FSD can pat themselves on the back for conducting
another successful tournament. Yet another feather in their cap !
