Skipper Pawan Shirvastav of Lupin Pharma won the toss and elected to field first, probably this being their first match of the season it looked like a good decision to let the opponent bat first. Orange Advertising team lost both their openers quite early in the innings. Infact Orange team lost wickets at regular intervals due to good aggressive bowling by Lupin bowlers mainly by the left arm Siddharth Hetkale who finished with 3.1overs – 8 runs and picking up 3 wickets. Other bowlers Rahul Patil and Yogesh Sawant picked up 2 wickets each.
Lupin bowlers did a good job of restricting the score to 112 in 18.1 overs. The only stand out batting performance was that of Santosh Pal 45*(36) who hit 6 fours and 1 massive six. Akthar Shaikh too chipped in with 23(20)
It was a decent score to chase batting second for Lupin Team however they too lost early wickets . Orange team adapted a strategy wherein they wanted to try out each bowler for an over first and then decide on the key bowlers. A strategy which paid off well since most of the bowlers contributed equally with the likes of Akthar Shaikh 03-01-5R-3wickets ; Jafar Ansari 04-19runs-3wickets. Nishant Kashinagar and Saroj C both picked up 2 wickets. Akthar Shaikh who is renowned for his fielding skills was also responsible for 2 catch outs. Paresh Gurav from Lupin team top scored with 18(28).
In the end Orange Advertising team comfortably won by a massive margin of 42 runs
