Karanjawala & Co, Kochhar & Co and Anand & Anand won convincingly over Khaitan & Co, KJSV and Suri & Co in the second round of matches in the the TURF Twenty20 tournament between law firms for the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) Cup.

On 13 November Karanjawala elected to bat against Khaitan & Co and proceeded to rack up 142 runs for 7 wickets, with batsmen Kaushik Murli and Akhil Sachar respectively making 37 and 28 runs each. Khaitan & Co was all out after 15 overs trailing behind with only 79 runs.

Khaitan bowler Ankush took out four wickets against 20 runs in four overs, while Karanjawala bowler Sarthak Nayak also felled four wickets in four overs conceding 18 runs.

On 14 November Kochhar & Co played KJSV, with KJSV opening for 136 runs, as Amrinder Singh pummelled the field for 60 runs in 45 balls, including one hit for six and four for four.

However, Kochhar & Co responded with a hammering by two batsmen to clinch it with 139 runs in only 16 overs. Batsman Bharat Veer amassed 81 runs in 47 balls with a grand total of 12 fours, while Bobby hit six fours over 41 balls for a total of 46 total runs.

In the second game of that day Anand & Anand faced off against Suri & Co, which elected to field first, which proved unlucky for Suri.

Anand batters laid down a target of 164 runs over 20 overs, with Manish Biala hitting seven fours out of 57 balls, scoring a total of 62. And over only 24 balls Pradeep Singh hit 43 runs with a grand-total of eight fours.

Left to chase the tough target, Suri was all out after 15 overs with 112 runs as no batsmen managed to crack the Anand defence convincingly.

Saikrishna’s match against Amarchand Mangaldas of 13 November was postponed.

Last week Legally India reported that AZB & Partners, Dua Associates, Luthra & Luthra and Titus & Co won their games in the first round.

Legally India is proud media partner of the 2010 TURF Twenty20 Cup for the SILF Cup, which is organised by TURF Sports Management, and is sponsored by the Society of Indian Law Firms (SILF) and co-sponsored by Hyatt.

Does SILF organize tournaments for other sports also? If no, why not?

Clearly, everyone has lost interest in this...........I remember, tens of guys writing numerous messages relating to lawyers' cricket tournaments on this platform.......... Where have they gone? All dead?

because the tournament is no longer fun. Firms bring in players who aren't staff/associates just to 'win' games.

"The tournament is no longer fun" is correct. All law firms should get together (and perhaps agencies like legallyindia can help) and ensure that only lawyers retained (and not just for 2-3 months during the tournament time) by the respective Firm should comprise the playing XI (along with staff employed by the Firms. Given that a certain degree of competitive spirit is shown on the field by the lawyers, it can be safely said that the competition can regain its charm and appeal if these unnecessary issues are resolved and teams are constituted ethically and the sport is played in the right spirit

I think format should be such that all playing 11 should be lawayers and atleast two of them should be partners and one player should be over 40 yrs. As at the end of the day its not a cut throat competition but a podium for all layers to do something other thn their ususals. I like the concept adopted by ELP in Mumbai for their ELP cup. where you get only lawyers to play and team includes ppl over 40 also.
