Armaan fights it out while Ayush Zimare continues to impress: this time with 84 & 5wkts in the Kalpesh Koli Tournament ‘18
Played at the Matunga Gymkhana, Dadkar Maidan, U/16 Azad Maidan Team and U/16 Worli team took on each other with Worli Skipper Ayush winning the toss and electing to bat first on the back of his team’s good bowling line up.
Their decision to bowl first was spot on as Azad Maidan team were all out for 162runs in 57.4 overs. The whole team suffered a batting collapse but it was once again their batting mainstay Arman Pathan fighting it out alone scoring 78* off 149balls. Arman dodged the bowlers confidently despite lacking support from the other end smashing 11fours and 2sixes. From the bowlers, it was their skipper Ayush Zimare leading from the front taking 5/38 in 18.4overs with as many as 10 maidens. Ayush has been really consistent and effective with the ball and is improving leaps & bounds daily while Prince Badani also bagging 3wkts.
On the other hand, Worli team were struggling at one point with 3down for 23runs but it was again their left-handed Ayush who came at no.4 top scoring with a brilliant 84 off 131balls(9fours,2sixes). Ayush’s knock was quite sublime as he solidified the innings for his team while also got good support from Sai Chavan(38) and Om Bhimjiyani(60) providing crucial contributions at the middle order. U/16 Azad Maidan batted for 5overs before the match ended as U/16 Worli team won the match on 1st innings with skipper Ayush playing a perfect skipper’s role.
