Alok Shastri picks up a fifer to help Citi Bank thrash CEX in Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament match
CEX had a disappointing day with the bat against Citi bank at Azad Maidan, Mumbai on 2nd April during the Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament. Batting first, CEX managed to post a modest 117 in their full quota of 20 overs. Nikhil Tanna top scored with 29 runs off 32 balls and received good support from Sumeet (21 runs off 16 balls). Apart from these two, rest of the CEX batting looked rusty. Alok Shastri was the star performer with the ball as he picked up a five wicket haul. Shastri finished off his miserly four-over spell with envious figures of 5-11. He bowled consistent line and lengths, not allowing the batsmen to score freely off him.
Chasing 118 runs was not a daunting challenge for a power-packed Citi batting line-up. The openers Rajeev (29 runs off 20 balls) and Hasnain (41 runs off 25 balls) provided the best possible start to their team and ensured that the run chase was a smooth one. Viraj chipped in with 26 runs off 22 balls to see his team home. Citi achieved the target in 14 overs, winning the match by six wickets. Pranav was the pick of the bowlers for CEX picking up 2-23 in his four overs.
Alok Shastri (5-11 in 4 overs) was declared as the Man of the Match for his brilliant bowling efforts.
