Matches are the events of enthusiasm. Some matches are quite thrilling and full of suspense. Some matches are enjoyable and people feel much pleasure to watch them.
Last month, I had a chance to watch a one-day cricket match. It was played between super-stars and fighters eleven club. We had bought the tickets and reached the stadium at 8 o’clock. This final match was played on a pleasant morning. The stadium was jam-packed with the spectators. Men, women, children and old persons from every walk of life had come to see this match.
The umpires with two captains came into the ground. First of all the two captains tossed in the presence of umpires. It was won by the captain of super stars. They decided to bat first. Both the openers entered the ground with enthusiasm and dignity. The spectators clapped. The players came running towards the pitch circling their bats around. The match started at 9 o’clock with great thrill. The commentary on match both in English and Urdu was exciting and enjoyable. The sky was overcast a bit at the start of the match, but soon, it was a bright day.
Both the openers were very experienced and played confidently. They were very careful but occasionally they opened up and had a few good shots. They were scoring runs with out taking undue risks.
Together they put half century. It was. undoubtedly, a good foundation. Now they became a bit fast. In the process Saeed missed a ball and received it on his pads. He was declared L.BW. The first wicket fell at the score of 75. In the next ten overs they further lost three wickets but the score was then one hundred one. Last ten overs were very exciting lor they scored 52 runs in them. The total reached to 153 in thirty overs for the loss of nine wickets.
After the first innings there was a short break. During it, the vendors appeared. We began chatting, eating and drinking tea. Soon the match resumed. In the first eight overs fighters eleven easily scored sixty runs without losing any wicket. But the next four Overs were crucial. They lost four important wickets. The fielding of super stars was perfect. All of they were playing carefully. People clapped and danced when the captain of super stars took a very difficult catch. Their wicket keeper also showed a wonderful performance by stumping three important players of fighters eleven.
In short the match was even till the last over in which the batting side was to get only nine runs and the bowling side was to take only one wicket to win the match. Every ball created suspense and excitement among the crowd. At the last ball only two runs were required. The batsman could not hit and missed the ball. Super stars won the match. Some excited spectators ran towards the winning team. Some started leaving and some kept sitting to watch the ceremony.
Nobody can deny the importance of sports and games in life. They play a vital role in building our body, muscles and nerves. They teach us to practise patience tolerance and other moral values.
