Their new openers Pradeep and Lakshman gave them a solid start with 52 runs on the board in 9 overs.Both complimented each other with sensible batting and aggressive running between the wickets.Lincoln were really unlucky with a couple of decisions not going their way but daniel got the wicket of pradeep(13) in the 10th over.
Praveen(4) got a rough decison but yashveen(5), Hiren(3),Avinash(3),Kiran(2) couldn't support Lakshman who was playing a with a cool head at the other end.Prashanth(6) played sensibly in the last 5 overs to give the strike to Lakshman(78) who took the score to 152/6 in 25 overs.

Chasing 153, Lincoln started off aggressively with Naren and Vijay who hit a huge six over mid wicket.But Pradish got rid of the openers with teasing line and length,srikar got the important wicket of Vivek(2),hiren got rid of Bhargav(4) which reduced lincoln to 42/4 in 8 overs. Rampi started off well with a six over long off but srikar pulled his length back a touch and got Rampi(14).
The chase was then left to Gautham but he ran out of partners as yashveen(4/21) bowled with good flight and great accuracy. Srikar(3/20) took a good reflex catch of his own bowling to dismiss gautham(22) which ended Lincoln's innings at 106
