Cricket Match "A sound body has a sound mind!

"

Last Sunday was a very exciting and interesting day for us. There was a
cricket match between the Lion's Club and the Tiger's Club. I, with some of
my friends, planned to watch it. We reached the stadium in time.

There was a great rush of the people. As everyone was hustling and bustling
to get in their seats. Everyone looked excited. We got to our seats with great
difficulty. Policemen were standing at proper distances. They were controlling
the mob. The chief minister was also coming to watch the match. Many
hawkers and vendors were also there. They were carrying and selling their
things.

“It is not important who starts the game but who finishes it”.

At exact 9:00 am, the match started. The Lion's club took a brilliant start after
winning the toss. Its opener's laid and solid foundation of 112 before being
parted. Ahmad was in the top and hammered the Tiger's bowlers. He scored
a dashing 85 in only 86 deliveries which included eight fours and three sixes.
He was at last caught by Abubakar when he was attempting another hit. The
Tiger's fielders were not active enough. They dropped even the easy catches
quite often. The Lion's scored magnificent 333 runs and impressed the
spectators with their strokes.

The Tiger's in reply were dismissed for 220. Some of their players didnt even
know how to play! Only Abubakar and Omer played brilliantly and delighted
the people with their shots and a couple of high sixes.

"Games and Sports develop character and give health which are quite
essential for improving the quality of life, acquiring wealth and
success.”
