Ashish Rao of LQ India was at his very best when he opened the innings against Zee TV on 27th Feb at Cross Maidan, Mumbai on the eve of Milan Mega Corporate T20 Cricket Tournament semi-final. Batting first, Zee TV was restricted to a dismal 110-7 in 20 overs, thanks to some splendid bowling from Nikhil Peghdhare (3-17) and Ankur (2-16). Opening bat Amir Siddique top scored with 39 runs and received good support from Baldev Maheshwari (22) and Atul Singh (20), however that was not enough as they could not post a formidable score.
LQ India started off well as they got off to a flyer with a 71-run opening partnership between Ashish Rao (48) and Mehul Kamath (28). Ashish smacked the Zee TV bowlers all-round the park and was instrumental in taking his team home. LQ India achieved the target in just 15 overs, keeping eight wickets in hand.
LQ India made its way to the grand Final, courtesy Ashish Rao’s (48 runs off 33 balls) fantastic batting performance. He was declared as the Man of the Match.
