NCC Seamers won the first annual 'Mosabbir Indoor Cricket Tournament' behind superb bowling of Maynak Patel, Adil and Moshin. Earlier Seamers batsmen scored a healthy 91 in eight overs. The Panthers, the 'Surprise' of the tournament, led by Shahid Sheikh fought well and at one point with Hunain and Lyder batting had a good chance of winning. But at the end the total was too much for feisty Panthers.

In league matches, Seamers scored the highest total of the tournament 107 runs against MTSU with Rizwan and Qandil doing bulk of scoring. Tony Mould’s NOCC lost first game against NCC Kings but fought valiantly to beat Memphis Cricket Club in the final league game. Memphis cricket club the winners of last year's 'Music City Cricket Tournament' had a bit hard time in adjusting to the indoor environment, but they still managed to beat NCC Panthers with ease. Rakesh batted very well in the both Panthers games. League games in the group B created lot of excitement as each team won one game. On run rate basis NOCC and Panthers made to semi finals. In Group A, Seamers and Panthers reached semifinals.

In the first Semi final, Seamers batted first. Kings bowled very well and restricted Seamers to 79. The target was not that hard to get. Kings started well and scored with ease. There were a number of run outs that kept Seamers in the game. Rakesh and Aley batted quite well. In the last over, Panthers needed four from last ball; with one wide, three needed, but the bowler kept his cool and bowled last ball a bit short of length that batsman hit directly to the fielder. Only one run scored...Seamers won..

In the second semi final, Panthers easily beat NOCC. Waseem bowled Lyder on the first ball that took all the steam out of NOCC. Though Jason tried to get the inning together with good batting, but total was not enough. Waseem and Adnan bowled a pretty tight line and length and did not give batsman chance to score. Panthers reached the total with relative ease. Again Hunain and Waseem did bulk of the scoring. The brightest spot in NOCC's innings was Jason's fielding; who with his excellent acrobatic ground fielding and catching got lots of applause from spectators.
