Vishal Pendurkar steers Sodexo to an easy win against Montage Entertainment in JD Sports Club Corporate T20 match
It was quite a disappointing batting performance from Montage Entertainment when they faced Sodexo on 8th April at Elphinstone Cricket Ground, Mumbai during the JD Sports Club Corporate T20 Challenge. Jitendra Deshmukh, who was a player first, then coach and umpire is the man behind this tournament. He has different feathers to his cricketing cap.
Batting first, Montage posted a modest 107-8 in 20 overs. Aman top scored with 24 runs off 18 balls and had Ajay for company who made 20 runs off 21 cherries. Machindra Arote shined with the ball as he picked up 3-20 in his four overs.
In reply, opening bat Vishal Pendurkar single-handedly won the game for Sodexo as he cruised to a blistering unbeaten knock of 74 runs coming off just 43 balls. He smacked nine boundaries and two sixes in his entertaining knock. Vishal was the spectators’ delight. Sodexo chased down the target in 15 overs, winning the match by eight wickets. Shubham and Aman picked up one wicket each.
Vishal Pendurkar (74 not out off 43 balls) was declared as the Man of the Match for his brilliant batting efforts.
