All-rounder Nikhil Ghuge shines for Subsea Pro against Abbott in Shiraz-e-Hind tournament match
Riding on opening bat Swapnil Nigudkar’s (53 runs off 49 balls) half century and power-packed knock of Nikhil Ghuge (40 runs off 15) helped Subsea Pro post a mammoth 188-7 in 20 overs against Abbott at John Bright, Mumbai on 5th March during the Shiraz-e-Hind tournament. Aditya also made a useful contribution of 37 runs at the start of the innings. Nikhil was simply brutal as he smacked five boundaries and a six in his cameo innings of 40 runs. The bowlers had no answer to Nikhil’s blitzkrieg. Sandeep Gedam was the pick of the bowlers as he grabbed 3-32 in his four overs.
Abbott did not get off to the best of starts as they lost their openers Shankaran (7) and Pravin (5) cheaply. Apart from Santosh Tupe (40), none of the other batsmen looked in shape. After shinning with the bat, Nikhil Ghuge rolled his arm over to pick up 2-8 in his three overs. Abbott was done and dusted for 100 in 17.3 overs, losing the match by a big margin of 88 runs.
Nikhil Ghuge (40 runs and 2-8 in 3 overs) was awarded with the Man of the Match prize for his outstanding all-round performance.
