Sodexo opener Vishal Dandekar was on song in their match against Omni Marines in the Kurukshetra cup. This cup is organized by beyond-infiniti, a firm founded by Rai brothers- Piyush and Devashish.
Vishal scored a breezy 92 runs in just 54 balls and was unfortunate to get out just 6 short of a well deserving century. Vishal demonstrated how to farm strike and score briskly. When he got out it was just the 14th over and who knows if he would have stayed for all 20 overs how much he would have scored. Sodexo put up 162 in their quota of overs.
Chasing a decent target, Omni marine kept loosing wickets at regular intervals and could manage only 124 runs, thus loosing by 38 runs. Classy left handed opener, Akash Patil top-scored with 30 runs and Raj Choughule scored 29 were the only bright spots in other wise lackluster chase.
Undoubtedly Vishal Dandekar was the Man of the Match.

The chase should have been a cake walk for Kotak but they scumbbled to some tight bowling by Kores. Both Hrishikesh and Mayuresh bowled beautifully to account for 5 wickets. Hrishekesh was more lethal picking up 3 top order wickets and hence was chosen as the Man of the match.

Against Akhtar, DTDC Express innings came to a screeching halt for 117 runs all out from a comfortable 81 for 1 at half way stage. For DTDC, openers Manager Gupta (45) and Gangadhar Ingole (21) played superb knocks. Out of 11 only 3 batsmen could reach double figure mark such was the terror of Akhtar’s bowling.
Unfortunately Arbuda batsman couldn’t achieve the small target of 118 runs to put icing on the cake after Akhtar’s superb spell. DTDC bowlers restricted Arbuda to a score of 96 for 9 wickets in allotted 20 overs. They gave away only 6 extras such was the discipline of the DTDC bowlers.
