Invitational Tournament completed its full cycle when DCA won the cup back in 2013 after 4 years.

2009 was the first year of this big tournament after establishing website and started recording statistics. We started using Windows Mobile phone to record scorecard electronically ball by ball, which we later changed into full size laptop based recording. During the final between DCA Green and RAR same old Windows Mobile was used.

After winning the toss DCA decided to field and invited RAR to bat. RAR had a stable start with their first wicket scalped at 30 and second at 88. DCA kept sending their batsmen at regular interval and none of their batsmen could hit half century. The inning resulted in total of 182 for 7.

DCA Green also had shaky start where one of its top batsmen Khurram got out at individual score 1 when team total was 22. Meer sb. as usual played key role and provided stability to the inning. After Meer sb. Sohrab and Saad almost took it to the end when Saad and Sarfaraz both got out at 175. Finally DCA was home in 19 overs.

Have a look at final score and some images from 2009. Don’t forget the images of celebrations involving Asif Muzaffar.
