The knock-out intra-pool matches had given way to the four quarter finals played this weekend between the leading teams of various pools.
A set of two games each pitched team Titus against Anand & Anand and Kochhar opposite AZB on day one of the quarter finals this Saturday while Amarchand contested Dua Associates and Luthra fought Saikrishna next day on Sunday.
Titus & Co won over Anand & Anand in a closely contested match that saw Anand & Anand putting up a good total of 112 before losing all wickets in response to Titus’ 139-run target in 20 overs. Titus after electing to bat first secured itself a 27-run victory with bowler Sunil Kumar becoming the man of the match for striking down five wickets, giving away only 14 runs in 3.4 overs bowled.
In the other match played on 18 December, Kochhar’s display of a consistent batting and bowling strength ended-up in rivals AZB’s defeat.
AZB lost by a huge margin of 126 runs after Kochhar decided to bat first laying down an enormous total of 186 runs. Team AZB was declared all-out in only 13.2 overs after managing a meagre 60 runs.
Kochhar opening batsman Bharat Veer outshone with a splendid 123 runs scored in 66 balls, which also earned him the man of the match title. Veer had seven sixes and 12 fours to his credit.
The first of the two Sunday matches on the other hand was tightly-fought by Saikrishna against Luthra, following Anand giving tough competition to Titus on the previous day. Luthra won by 14 runs after amassing a strong total of 144 runs in 18.2 overs with more than an over to spare. Saikrishna’s team almost chased Luthra, scoring 130 runs for a loss of three wickets but exhausted all 20 overs before it could catch up.
Saikrishna batsman Kamal Khurana was awarded man of the match title despite his team losing to Luthra for scoring 53 runs in 45 balls.
In the second Sunday match Amarchand defeated Dua Associates. [Detailed scores not currently confirmed.]

Tara and Manish on sports quota!!! That's food for thought!
Kocchar... they had "the body massagers" all the time. This time they have "someone special" opening the innings!!
Titus - Their hired associates seems to run out of steam this tournament - guess they were all one tournament wonder. Or may be they were quite hyped up by teams. On that note, we never heard complaints on their hired associates from Luthra, who beat them every time they faced each other. Again, food for thought!!
#22 win the semi-final against luthra first and then dream about finals....lol
#22: Mr. Barf Bag..u actually make ugly sounds....hope u dnt get urself spanked in the semi finals itself!
And im not sure how much knowledge u possess about recruitment criteria of law firms coz i doubt u can name 10 law firms in a breath. Till then enjoy the life of ignorance :-)

(i) Luthra: Most number of comments from professionals of this firm. Dont seem to be productively engaged, maybe end of year lack of work, have propensity to be sucked into arguments on blogs.
(ii) Titus: Most 'colourful' blogs, language used has dented their [...] reputation [...]. PS Lawyers in Titus [...], comfortably the most despised bunch.
(iii) Amarchand: Have played well and dont remember seeing a single blog here, maybe they have legal work to do...
(iv) Dua: Made their blogging debut here with some excuses/reasons for defeat, got a cavalry charge from Luthra guys here on blogs (again, 3, 4 luthra guys seem to be only blogging here, Rajiv check their time sheets...) and retreated, never to be heard of again!...
(v) AZB: One of them might have acted 'strangely' and unnecessarily got dragged in verbal, but all in all, sufficiently came across and behaved like lawyers..
More to follow
Sai Krishna: Great honest bunch of guys, decent players, no idiotic comments ever, thumbs up!....
KJSV: My apologies for being ignorant, but who are you once again?... Titus at least we know from the cars and Turf and Kocchar from being Kocchar[...]...
I have no locus to be throwing 'kichad' on anyone, these are strictly my humble opinions based strictly on what I have read here...I am infact no body compared to these illustrious Associates in illustrious law firms, just that I am somewhat confused as most like us aspire to become Associates like these, however they come across as sorriest bunch of role models ever! Most disappointing being Luthra who inspite of being big reputed law firm, have Associates blogging non sense all the time, with some other law firms here I can understand!...
Again, please discount my barbs, I have nothing better to do apart from boring internship but again Associates in law firms were supposed to be better than this...
(i)No law firm head will call himself....a law form head
(ii)No law firm head would come on this blog to....blog
(iii)#47 was the lamest threat ever, not befitting from a.....law firm head!
God save the law firm whose… law firm head...is online blogging like this!…
# 51 says, "better do some work". Yes, all of you blogging, please do some work rather than wasting time here.....
% 52 says, "God save the law firm whose… law firm head...is online blogging like this!…" So it is equally true that "God save the law firm whose… associates ...are online blogging like this!…" So my advice is - go and do your work, otherwise you get fired in due course and you know it and it will happen soon....all of you frustrated guys......
By the way, "firm" was misspelled as "form"... my apology........and i am not any law firm's head.... thats only a nick name, dear friends.....u ......, u should have very well known it rather putting a challenge to it..........
(i) could be a simple typo. In other messages above e.g. 47, it is spelled as "firm". And whats the difference between "firm" and "form"..lawyers form the firm and so a firm is formed and so its a law form....
(ii) No such bar anywhere.. and law firm heads also need some entertainment
(ii) why not....if a real law firm head comes to know of this blogging by his associate during office hours and in the above manner, i am sure he would fire the associate.
And thanks for letting me know that I made you laugh............in this sad world, we need people who make others laugh................
Ans some people say that its a funny world we live in...............
By the way, I dont like people like you who are sad, sad and sad
