Promising Vivek Patel’s blazing 52* steers IDBI to a win in the JFSC Tournament ‘18

Played at the New Hind Ground at Matunga, IDBI took on SSC where in IDBI won the toss and elected to bowl first with an aim of restricting SSC to a low total with the help of their strong bowling line up.

Their decision to bowl first was quite spot on SSC was restricted to mere 80runs all out in 16.3 overs. It was a collectively tight bowling perfomance from all the bowlers where in Adwait, Rajesh, Mayuresh and Nikhil all chipped in with 2wkts while Shiva from SSC who opened the innings top scored with 23runs.

Chasing a paltry 81, it was a mere formality for IDBI boys and why not when they have a solid and consistent opener like Vivek Patel who has been scoring runs at a really good average past one year. Vivek smashed an unbeaten 52* coming off mere 26balls at a strike rate of 200 smashing 7fours and 2sixes to seal the chase for his team in style. Vivek literally pounced on every bowler smashing boundaries in almost every corner of the ground.

IDBI finished off the chase in mere 9.1 overs and won the match in style by 9wkts on the back of Vivek Patel’s 52* which also earned him ‘man of the match’
