Ankit Thakran’s 27ball 77 carnage helps Reefit Gym Warriors win the 1st Quarter Finals of the 2nd Skyline Corporate Cricket Championship 2017
It was the 1st quarter-final match between two promising teams namely Reefit Warriors and Evalueserve at Gurgaon where in Reefit Warriors won the toss & elected to bat first considering that pitch was looking good enough to bat first.
The decision to bat first was quite rewarding as their right handed batsman Ankit Thakran made complete mayhem of the bowlers scoring an effortlessly brutal 77 off just 27balls which included just 4 fours but as many as 7sixes to enthrall his team mates and the spectators alike. Aashish(35 off 20) & Harish Bedi(30 off 20) also chipped in with their quick 30’s taking their team score to cross the 200run mark at 209/6 in 20 overs. For Evalueserve rahul took 3/26 while harshit took 2/31 in 3 overs.
Chasing 210 at more than 10 runs per is always a harrowing task and Evalueserve found it tough to cope up with the pressure of chasing managing to reach only 134/6 in 20 overs. Arjun was the highest scorer with a 28ball 36 but the rest of the batsman could not fire. Aman, Manoj & Rahul all chipped in with some economical bowling figures while also taking a wicket each.
Reefit Gym Warriors won the match and enter into the semi-finals while Ankit T was declared ‘man of the match’ for his dashing knock. Cricketgraph congratulates the whole team for their win while also wishes them luck for their future encounters.
