In the first game against UCI, UCSD bowled first and conceded a few more runs than they would've liked. Although the bowlers bowled well there were a few big overs here and there. Kulveer Setya (4.0-0-21-3) and Lincoln Mehndiratta (4.0-0-43-2) helped us pull it back together in the end. While chasing, UCSD got off to a rough start with losing wickets and some slow overs. However, Viv Tiwari (30 off 36) and Vishnu Babu Guturu (29 off 14) kept fighting. After UCSD lost these two batters it got tough for the others to keep up with the run rate. Consequently, UCSD ended up losing by 30 runs.
