All-rounder Vishal Shah & Aditya Singh steer Osians CC to a smooth win in the Gannon Dunkerley T20 Tournament ‘2018

Played at PJ Hindu Gymkhana ground, NSCI (National Sports Club of India) and Osians Cricket Club took on each other for a crucial T20 clash where in NSCI won the toss and elected to bat first with an aim of making a big target of 170-180+ and put the opposition team under pressure.

However, NSCI were in for a shock as their decision to bat first did not prove to be spot on. NSCI were bundled out for 116runs all out in 16.4 overs where in not a single batsman managed to make much of an impact apart from their opener Kamran Ahmed who top scored with a quick 28ball 48 at the top of the order. Paras Zaveri with 26 runs was the 2^nd highest scorer as Osians bowlers really bowled tight and took wickets at regular intervals. Aditya Singh with 4/16 in 4overs was excellent with the ball being the pick of the bowlers while quickster Parth Tolia and Harsh Dhadda taking 2wkts each to make it a collectively good bowling perfomance. Aditya was particularly impressive with the ball as he not only kept on troubling the batsman with good line and length but was also thoroughly economical.

Chasing a mere 117, openers Vishal Shah and Digvijay Kathiwada sealed the chase in utmost style with both the batsman smashing fifties. While Digvijyay scored 52 off 38balls (8fours) it was Vishal who took on the bowlers with pure dominance smashing 52 off just 28balls which had 8fours and 1six. Eventually Osians CC won the match by 7wkts in mere 12.3 overs with as many as 7.3 overs to spare.

It was once again Osians CC showing their might as a team while Aditya Singh who bowled a fantastic match winning bowling spell was declared ‘man of the match’
