Jaymin Mehta From Man of the Match ( captain of Jns Young Veteran Team) 30 runs and 2 Wkts against OIS Blasters Team

The second match of the Super Sunday was played between JNS Young Veterans and OIS Blasters at Air India Sports Club, Santacruz, Mumbai. After a dramatic contest that was witnessed earlier in the day, this clash turned out to be a low key affair. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, JNS was bowled out for 110 in 19.1 overs. Middle order bat Jaymin Mehta top scored with 30 but failed to find able allies. Mehta played the anchor role as his innings was characterized by patience and no risky strokeplay. For OIS, Vinod Lund was the wrecker-in-chief as he got the crucial break-throughs. The right arm medium pace opening bowler completed his four over spell with 3-30. “The wicket was pretty good to bowl. For any bowler, getting a clean bowled is the best thing in the world. I got the better of Siddharth Chavda and his was my favourite wicket of the match”, expressed Vinod.

In reply, OIS failed to make the most of the low target, as they were sent packing for a miserly 78 in 14.2 overs, falling short of 32 runs. OIS lost their openers in quick succession as they made their way back without troubling the scorers. Pratik Sanghavi (14) and Siddharth Bhatia (12) got off to a good start but were unable to capitalize on the same. Amar Chopra was the pick of the bowlers for JNS as he finished off his four over spell with 3-32.

Jaymin Mehta, whose innings of 30, in the end proved to be a match defining knock, was bestowed with the Man of the Match. Jaymin stated, “Zooter International School Dad’s Tournament is a wonderful platform for cricket enthusiasts in the age group of 35-45. As a part of the tournament, we get a chance to interact with different people from varied backgrounds. The atmosphere is excellent during the match. Being the first game of the season, it was important for us to get off to a positive start and we are fortunate to have done so. The wicket was slightly difficult to bat on but I was determined to play right through the 20 overs. Our bowlers did a good job to get OIS all out for 78”.
