Kanga Knockout Updates ‘18: From Vinit Dedhia’s hatrick, Ashok Chauhan’s fifer to Manish Bhatt and Shirish More’s half centuries!

Kanga Knockout matches this summer have been simply fantastic with some great individual performances and nail biting matches. Kanga leagues over the years have been a breeding ground in cricket and it’s a platform which not only gives a platform for players to perform but it also hones the skills of every cricketer under tough pitch conditions. Here are the latest updates-

Fort Youngster CC vs Swastik CC

Played at the Navroz, Azad Maidan, Swastik CC won the toss and elected to bat first. However their decision to bat first fell flat as they were all out for 111runs in 28.4 overs on the back of Meet Veera’s 4/38 and Vinit Dedhia’s super hat-trick. While Meet took care of the upper order, Vinit cleaned up the lower order with a fantastic hat-trick along with Kunj’s 2wkts. Chasing 112, Fort Youngster CC won the match by 4wkts with Jayesh P scoring 59* while Vinit making it an all-round show scoring 23* too with the bat!

Union Cricket academy Kalyan vs Oriental cc

Played at the LIC Cross Maidan, Oriental CC won the toss and elected to bat first but were all out for 153runs on the back of some really tight bowling by the Union CA bowlers where in Meet Samani was the pick of the bowlers with 3wkts. Chasing 154, Union CA won the match by 3wkts and chased it down in mere 24.3 overs as opener Shirish More’s quick 60 off 43balls which had 8fours and 2sixes in it. Union CA would have found it difficult had Shirish not fired at the top of the order.

Friend’s Union cc. Vs Young Boys cc

Friends Union CC batting first made 190 which is not the biggest of total. Even that could have been not possible had Manish Bhatt (54) and Ronak Goswami (44) had not given crucial contributions with the bat. Both the batsman looked really confident while the whole team struggled from the other end. Defending a not so big total of 191, slow left arm spinner Manish Bhatt turned the tides into his team’s favor as he came up with a match winning fifer scalping 5/24 in 7overs which eventually bundled out Young Boys CC to just 66/10 all out in 21.2 overs. Ashok Chauhan from Boy’s CC also bowled as he took 5wkts but was in the losing cause.
