All-rounder Amol Pawar shines, as Liberty Videocon win against CGI in Dreamz T20 match
Winning the toss and electing to bat first, CGI posted a modest 130-6 in 20 overs against Liberty Videocon 9th April at MB Union Ground, Mumbai, during the Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament match. Rohit (39 runs off 41 balls) and Debdeep (39 not out off 30 balls) were the top scorers for CGI, but they failed to capitalize on their starts. The credit needs to be given to Liberty Videocon bowling for restricting CGI to a below par score. Amol Pawar was the pick of the bowlers for Liberty, picking up 3-18 in his economical four-over spell. Pawar bowled in right areas throughout his spell, not allowing the batsmen to score freely off him.
Chasing 131 runs was not going to be that challenging a task. However CGI bowled well to grab seven wickets of Liberty. Opener Chetan departed cheaply for 2 runs off 6 balls, which meant that the middle order had to shoulder the responsibility. Navnath and Rohit accounted for two scalps each. In the middle overs, Abhay (25 runs off 14 balls) and Amol (35 runs off 24 balls) stitched a wonderful partnership and ensured that their team was safe. Liberty Videocon chased down the target in 16.5 overs, keeping three wickets in hand. Amol shined with both, bat and ball and played a pivotal role in his team’s win.
Amol Pawar (3-18 in 4 overs and 35 runs off 24 balls) was declared as the Man of the Match for his fantastic all-round efforts.
