A 60 ball century by Sumit Nigade helps arch mavericks register a win

Arch Mavericks had won the previous three matches and they are qualified for the super eight but still they fought with a lot of conviction. Their captain advised the players to stick to their natural game & not to take the game lightly as a bonus point would lift them to the top of the table. Opener Sumit Nigade followed every word of his captain’s advice to perfection putting up a standout performance with the bat again.

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Arch Mavericks got off to a great start where Pranay Ranka & Sumit stitched a great partnership. Pranay Ranka was batting really well & Sumit rotated the strike quite effectively with him.  It was after his captain’s dismissal Sumit Nigade decided to open his arms. Moreover, Sumit displayed a wide array of shots in his brazen century coming off just 60 balls. That knock surely led the foundation for a big target for Arch Mavericks. Sumit Smashed 13 fours & 2 entertaining sixes to enthrall the spectators with his breath-taking batting. His six over deep mid-wicket against off spinner Yogendra Vitkar was his personal favorite. Though Arch Mavericks were practical in their approach but they had decided to target the spin bowlers & take full advantage of the loose balls.

Arch Mavericks managed to score 196/6 in 20 overs putting the onus of chasing a big target on VK Architects.  The Arch maverick bowled really well restricting the opposition to just 100 runs & winning the match by 96 runs.  Vimal Hansraj was the pick of the bowlers picking up 4 wickets for just 6 runs which helped them to dominate over the opposition.

Sumit Nigade has showed a lot of consistency & is improving his game day by day. Sumit and the whole team would surely be carrying the good momentum in the super eight & will be looking to perform well to lift the trophy in the AT20 Tournament.
