A Masterclass bowling spell by Surjeet Roy helps Tata Motors clinch a semi-final victory in the Masters Cup Edition-2
Semi-finals are always nail biting and such was the case with Tata Motors and Sterling Wilson at Vengsarkar Academy in Mahul. Both the teams gave a tough competition to each other after Sterling Wilson lost the toss & were made to field first.
Tata Motors who have a strong batting line up however did not have the best of the days in the office as they were not able to post a big total in 20 overs. Tata Motors were all out for just 110 runs in 19.4 overs which was lesser than what they had expected. Swetal & P Mayank were the only two batsmen who looked good enough to face the bowlers. Mayank was smashing proper cricketing shots but could not convert his 20 into something substantial. R Thakur was the pick of the bowlers taking 6/31 in 4.4 overs.
However, Skipper Surjeet Roy did not give up and he was confident of his bowlers to defend the total. Skipper Surjeet Roy bowled a mesmerizing spell with his right arm off-spin taking 6/27 in 4 overs. Surjeet bowled an amazing spell and got his 1st two wickets in his first 4 balls itself. Not only did Surjeet kept on breaking partnerships, he was also consistently troubling the batsman and taking wickets in tandem. Sterling Wilson were eventually all out for 89 runs and Tata Motors won the match by 22 runs and Skipper ‘Surjit Roy’ being adjudged ‘man of the match’ for his match winning spell.
Cricketgraph wishes SURJEET all the luck for his future endeavors & also we wish he keeps confusing the batsman in the same manner for a long long time.
