Ajinkya Parte scores a 31ball 55 to steer Ltosa to a win over Igate in the Milan T20 Tournament
Ltosa & Igate clashed with each other for a crucial face off at Western Railways cricket ground. On a track (plot no.5) which was slightly tilted towards the bowlers, Ltosa elected to field first and put the opposition under pressure by restricting them to a low total.
Batting first, igate managed to put a really good total on the board of 191/8 in 20 overs. The bowlers could have been a little more tight and effective as they leaked as many as 43 runs or they could have been easily restricted to just 150-160 on the board. Kaustub Vechare, Akshay Yadav & no.4 batsman Singh were the top scorers with 29, 24 & 32 respectively. Deepak Kathiyal & Looman Vanu were the pick of the bowlers taking 2/35 & 2/16 respectively. Ajinkya Parte also chipped in with a wicket in his quota of 3 overs.
Chasing 192 in 20 overs is always tough in a T20 format but Ltosa team won the match by 7wkts and chased down the score in 19.5 overs. The batsman did a fantastic job & it was a good start by the openers which laid the foundation for their innings. All the batsman did a great job but the highlight of the innings was Ajinkya Parte who scored a match-winning 55 off just 31balls. Ajinkya completely dominated the bowlers & did not spare any corner of the ground to help his team wincomfortably by a big margin of 7wkts.
Cricketgraph congratulates Ltosa for their commendable win & also wishes Ajinkya for his good batting. Cricketgraph also wishes Ajinkya & all the players to keep playing good brand of cricket in the future too.
