All-rounder Abhas Jain helps Reliance beat NPCC in SP Champions League T20 match
Reliance registered an emphatic win over NPCC on 5th March in Mumbai during the SP Champions League Inter Engineering Consultancy T20 Cricket Tournament. Batting first NPCC was done and dusted for a paltry 82 in 18.3 overs, courtesy brilliant bowling from Reliance. It was ‘A’ magic for Reliance as Abhas Jain, Anoop Bindal and Arun Gupta bowled well in tandem to pick up two wickets apiece. Sandeep Pathariya top scored with run-a-ball 32 runs but remained the lone fighter for NPCC.
In response, Reliance cruised to a scintillating nine wicket win as they finished off the game in style. Top three batsmen ensured that the team was home safe. Opening pair of Viresh Joshipura (29) and Amit Kanitkar (24) took Reliance to a flying start. Half the battle was won when both these players provided a solid foundation. Abhas Jain came in at no.3 and chipped in with 21 runs. Abhas was exceptional with both, bat and ball and was instrumental in Reliance’s win over NPCC.
Abhas Jain (21 not out and 2-13 in 4 overs) was honoured with the Man of the Match prize for his fantastic all-round display.
