Who won GCL19? Did the reign of the old champions survive or do we have a new champion?! The audience was riveted to their seats up till the second last ball of the match! Fierce, exciting, and so so close. The last shot of the match crowned Fighting Thunders as the new champion for Gaditek Cricket League and sent the audience and the 7 teams storming the ground to congratulate the winners.
Congratulations to the New Champions for earning the right to #BragSaalBhar, and a round of applause for an intense match by the Power Hitters! #GCL19 #CricketFever #Gaditek #WellnessProgram

Week 3 of GCL19 went by in a flurry of riveting matches and close wins. Fighting Thunders stared Power Hitters in one of the most awaited matches of the event so far. However, Power Hitters won and maintained their unbeaten streak of six consecutive wins. Invincibles found themselves in a tight spot against the fierce Panthers needing 6 runs on 5 balls and managed to win with an amazing cricket by Panthers.
Week 4 will start with a final round of knockout matches to decide the teams that will face off in the Quarter Finals on Saturday. The semi-finals and finals will be held on Sunday.
Stay tuned for more and don't forget! EVERYONE's invited to GCL19 matches. Watch matches live at Eidgah Ground with family and friends or live-stream them on YouTube on the scheduled dates! #GCL19 #CricketFever #BragSaalBhar

The only word that can sum Week 2 of GCL19 is flabergasting. The fierce, competitive, and amazing display of athleticism shown by teams simply glued us to our seats. Power Hitters proved themselves unassailable, winning all the matches to remain at #1. However, the unexpected return of Invincibles & Fighting Thunders, and the Warriors getting a win on Titans have become the talk of the town. Check the standings for where teams stand here.
Week 3 matches will begin earlier, starting Thursday due to Shab-e-Baraat. The meme wars and cringe-worthy videos with teams challenging rivals are fueling the rivalries. After all, this week decides who we see in the Quarter Finals! Expect the next 8 matches to be the best of GCL19 so far! #GCL19 #BragSaalBhar #Gaditek

The amazing display of cricket at Gaditek Cricket League's first weekend has left us in awe. In addition to the defending champions, Power Hitters winning both the matches, we saw Panthers and Titans take the reins bagging both the matches to score 4 points each. Fighting Thunders and Warriors won one match, scoring 2 points. In a surprising turn of events the Invincibles, Rising Stars, and Samurais lost all the matches.
Gaditek's campuses are abuzz with excitement and a blazing streak of cringe-worthy memes. We can not wait for Week 2! #GCL19 #BragSaalBhar #Gaditek
