IMS Noida Hosts Inter-Department Cricket Tournament

Noida: IMS Noida, located in Sector-62, recently organized an Inter-Department Cricket Tournament on campus. The two-day event saw the participation of 10 teams in total. On Wednesday, the opening day featured three exciting matches of 8 overs each, though play was later interrupted due to heavy rain.

According to Reena Massey, Sports Coordinator at IMS Noida, eight teams comprised of male students and two teams of female students participated in the tournament. The first match was played between BBA-A and BCA-B, where BBA-A, after winning the toss and opting to bat first, showcased a strong performance and secured victory by 16 runs. In the second match, BBA-B outplayed Law-A, registering a convincing 30-run win. The third match turned out to be a nail-biter between BBA-C and Law-B. Both teams ended with the same score, leading to a tie. The match was then decided through a Super Over, where BBA-C managed to clinch the win with a 6-run lead.

Inaugurating the tournament, Professor (Dr.) Vikas Dhawan, Director General of IMS Noida, addressed the students, emphasizing that sports are an integral part of education. “Sports not only enhance physical well-being but also foster teamwork, discipline, and leadership skills. We hope this tournament will teach students the true essence of competition, friendship, and sportsmanship,” he added.
