Opener Akshay’s blazing 80 steers Cargo Cricket Club to a win in the JFSC Elite T20 Tournament’21

Played at the scenic MIG Cricket Club in Mumbai, Yoddhas Smashers opting to bat first posted a decent total of 168/6 in 20 overs. Even though, their team lost some early wickets, it was their experienced campaigner Sivanandan Konar rescuing his team with a valiant half century. Shiva as he is fondly called scored a sublime 54 off 33 balls while also stitched a very important partnership with Nilay Shah who scored 28 runs. Rishi down the order also played a good cameo of 10 ball 21*. From the bowlers, Rahul Sodha (2/26) and Sunil Yadav (2/28) were the pick of the lot.

Cargo Cricket Club in reply were fortunate that they were provided a brilliant start, courtesy to their opener Akshay Phaterpekar. Akshay went on to score a brilliant knock of 80 runs taking only 51 balls (6 fours, 6 sixes) with a strike rate of 157.00. Even though wickets kept on tumbling from the other end, Akshay continued to play his natural game inflicting maximum damage. Cargo CC eventually won the match by 3 wickets while Akshay was declared man of the match.
