Seven Delhi law firms have qualified out of the group stages to the quarter finals of the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) – Khushal T-20 cricket tournament after 23 matches played over four weeks.
Current quarter finalists are teams from Titus & Co and Kochhar & Co from Pool A; Bhasin & Co from Pool B; Luthra & Luthra and Trilegal from Pool C and Amarchand Mangaldas and Lall & Sethi from Pool D.
A total of seven decisive matches were played this weekend and Bhasin & Co won the coveted match of the week title for its second match of the weekend after the spectacular performance of associate Rajat Mathur against rival Sai Krishna.
Bhasin & Co managed to chase 208 runs target set by Sai Krishna in 19.3 overs. Mathur's brilliant knock of 189 runs in 80 balls left the audience spell bound with 160 runs coming from 25 boundaries and 10 sixes.
Captain of the team, Ravi Gopal said: "All the credit for our victory goes to Rajat Mathur. Last year we were ousted after the first round itself. We wish to perform even better and not repeat past mistakes."
The final schedule for the quarter finals will only be set after the Pool B match between K & S and Anand & Anand, which is scheduled for this Friday. The winner of that game will go through to the knock-out stage and it will also determine whether Bhasin & Co is ranked top or second of its group.
In Pool A last weekend, Titus & Co defeated Kochhar & Co as the latter firm failed to chase Titus' 207 runs and exhausted all 20 overs for 176/5. Shamik Naran was declared man of the match for scoring 70 runs in 40 balls.
The next match of Pool A was played between Suri & Co and FoxMandal Delhi and resulted in defeat for FoxMandal despite successfully notching up a total of 172/7 runs. Neither team has qualified for the quarter finals this year.
The first match of last weekend resulted in bonus point victory for Anand & Anand over Bhasin & Co in Pool B. The IP firm made 142 for 2 in 15.1 overs as against 141/9 of Bhasin.
Luthra & Luthra bowled out J Sagar Associates (JSA) at 128 after batting first to score 199/6. Prashant Mishra received the man of the match title for making 65 runs in 33 balls.
Meanwhile, Trilegal holds the second spot in Pool C and chased an easy total of 80 runs scored by opponent Khaitan & Co for a loss of eight wickets in just 9 overs, winning with a bonus point. Captain Yogesh Singh's performance of 4 wickets for 17 runs qualified him for man of the match title.
Singh commented: "Our bowlers had a good game, again! Khaitan & Co was all out for 80 and we cruised to victory in 10 overs."
"There is a bit of uncertainty regarding which team we play against in the quarters as it is dependent on the last league match. Irrespective of which team we play, our plan is to play well and enjoy the game," he added.
Pool D topper Amarchand won over Lall & Sethi with a bonus point. The firm made 126 for a loss of 5 wickets in 15.5 overs. Ashish Gupta's 4 wickets for 18 runs won him man of the match award.
Desai & Diwanji, AZB Partners, Suri & Co, FoxMandal, Sai Krishna, Khaitan & Co and JSA did not qualify for the knock-out stages.

Must be some sort of world record in first class T-20.
The tournament seems to be a brilliant platform for associates and partners of law firms to interact with associates and partners of other law firms. Congrats to all teams for their participation in this unique team game event.
May the best team win!
#3 and #10: the best wicket keeper in the lot, and best by far, is that robust looking guy from Luthra--i forget the name. Keeper of AMSS may come second.
Out of the 16 teams in fray in this tournament, i have no knowledge about three but every other team has Partners playing. Trilegal has a few, though it is captained by someone else; AZB, AMSS, Luthra, Lall and Sethi all have partners in the playing eleven. I think AMSS and Luthra are captained by Partners.
#4: your suggestion is not worthy of belief. Associates (for that matter other senior ppl) keeping out Partners!!!Huh!..this does not happen dude....If a Partner wants to play, he will..

Actually, given that your obsession with pink underwear and diapers probably takes up a lot of your time, if you could provide your email address, I am sure a lot of us would be happy to mail you the comments that we post here.
Out of curiosity, do you also play cricket for 'your' team or are you the type that just likes to fire the gun from the shoulders of others?
Boy u just hvnt recovered from the pasting i guess.....n u are most welcome to post u comments here, we all luv ur pink panties ;-)...........hope we meet on the field n talk wid our willows.....n trust me we wont make holes in ur diapers wid our blazin guns ;-)
Somebody said, "when you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others...................." So, find peace within yourself
Someone also very well said, "peace is not the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope with it............" SO develop the ability to cope with conflict
So guys, have peace.............enjoy peace...............spread peace..............peace in itself is the biggest reward that you can get in life...............
may be, SILF or TURF can engage me part-time for discipline maintenence etc.......I will not even charge------
i m nt at all against fun.............i a strong beleiver of all all kinds of fun
Titus + KTS beat Lall and Sethi
AMSS beat Kochar and Co.
Trilegal beat Anand and Anand
Luthra plays the Titus/KTS combine, while AMSS plays Trilegal in the semi-finals.
Cheers!
