Jitesh’s ton helps Airtel win over Assets Management Services

There were some fireworks at Multiply Ground (Cross Maidan) on Saturday when Airtel boys smashed Assets Management Services all over the park in one of the T20 matches of the on-going Milan T20 Mega Corporate Cricket League 2015-16. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Airtel put on board a formidable 256-3, courtesy Jitesh Purabia’s splendid innings of 108 (Fours:5 and Sixes:11) coming off just 48 balls. Kalpesh Mehta (43* off 19) and Mayur More (45* off 18) also joined the party with quick cameos towards the end of the innings. There was nothing to cheer about for Assets Management Services bowlers, apart from Huzefa who picked up two wickets.

In response, Assets Management Services managed to score 141-5 in their 20 overs, falling short of a mammoth 115 runs. Manish (49) and Seemar (41) looked in good touch but did not receive much support from the rest of the batting line-up. Sharad Gandhi (2-33) and Mayur More (2-10) shined with the ball providing regular breakthroughs to Airtel. Jitesh Purabia was adjudged as the man of the match for his scintillating century.
