A match winning 158 for Dhrumil Matkar while Kapse’s 175 goes in vain in the Purshottam Shield Tournament’19

Victory CC after being put to bat first at Khar Gymkhana posted a massive total of 407/10 in 70 overs. Despite some early hiccups and 4 wkts down for 108 runs, it was their promising all-rounder Dhrumil Matkar coming up with a brilliant knock of 158 in 158 balls. The left hander who is working on his batting this season seems to be showing up results as he smashed 15 fours and 6 sixes to carve a name for his batting too. Dhrumil got good support from Azhar Ansari (42) & Rakesh Prabhu (47) down the order as Victory CC reached a commanding total. Left arm spinner Ajay Mishra with 5/66 was the pick of the lot for Khar Gymkhana.

Khar Gymkhana also lost wickets at regular intervals which proved to be costly for them while chasing a 400+ total. Shrirang Kapse coming at no.4 went all guns blazing scoring a stylish 175 off 161 balls which had as many as 10 sixes and 18 fours to his name. Shrirang also received support from Priyank Shetty (47) and Dinar Gaonkar (63) but that did not prove to be enough as they were all out for 365 runs. All-rounder Jay Bista and Shashank Attarde with 3 wkts each were the pick of the bowlers as Victory CC won the match by 42 runs.
