In the semi-final match of Masters Cup 7, Walt Disney, courtesy Rakesh’s all-round show and a decent bowling performance, defeated Direct-I by 3 wickets to secure a place in the final.
Walt Disney won the toss and elected to field first. Direct-I were off to a bad start as they lost opener Sudhanshu on the third ball of the match. Ajeet and Ryan then stitched a second wicket partnership of 69 at almost run a ball when Ajeet got himself out on a personal score of 26. Ryan completed his half century but was soon out leaving Nitin to complete the unfinished task. Rest of the batsmen fell like nine pins as none apart from Nitin could even reach double figures as Direct-I could score only 137 runs for the loss of 9 wickets.
For Walt Disney, Rakesh and Prem captured a couple of wickets each while as many as three batsmen were run out.
Chasing 138 for the final berth, Walt Disney were three down for 44 at one stage. Only Rakesh (23) Hitesh (26*) could cross 20 as Walt Disney kept losing wickets at regular intervals. But small contributions from lower middle order helped them cross over the line with Lijo scoring 17 off 7 and Mangesh scoring 15* off 9.
It was a spirited bowling effort from Direct-I with Prashant taking 3 wickets and Sudhanshu taking 2. But they could not stop Walt Disney to overhaul a small total set by their batsmen.
Hitesh, for his sensible batting was adjudged Man of the Match.

A high scorer. A tied game. An absolute thrilling finish. What more can you expect from a cricket match as a spectator. In the end one team emerge as winners and the other one lost, not due to playing bad the full 40 overs but due to not playing that 1 super over well. That’s Cricket for you. All that effort of 40 overs is nullified by one over. Dental Wagon edged out AMS by 6 runs in the super over to win their encounter in Milan Corporate League 2015.
AMS won the toss and elected to bat first. Openers Shriyank (30, 22 balls) and Yusuf (58, 43 balls) provided a great start scoring 63 runs in just 7 overs. Yusuf added 50 runs with the next batsman Sandeep as well. Handy contributions from Prajwal and Bismal enabled AMS to post a challenging 177 on the board. There were as many as 27 extras in the innings. Four bowlers managed a wicket each for Dental Wagon.
Chasing 178, Dental Wagon began decently but lost opener Dharam in the third over. Kavish and Chang joined hands for a 59 runs stand in less than 7 overs to keep the run chase on track. They soon lost the third wicket as well and match was hanging in balance. Three batsmen from the lower middle order-Saddam (20), Priyesh (18) and Pradnesh (34) took their team closer to the target. They needed 9 runs from the last over but it turned out to be a comedy of errors by them that forced the match to be decided by the super over. As many as 4 wickets fell in the last over and all via run outs showing the lack of application by the tail enders of Dental Wagon. On the last ball 2 runs were required but the last pair could not complete the second run and the match was tied.
Shriyank managed to pick a couple of wickets while three other bowlers captured a wicket each.
In the Super Over, Wagons batted first and scored 9 runs after Dharam Malji lost his wicket. Paresh Pandit was handed the responsibility for defending 9 runs with the ball and he started with a wide ball. Next ball he got a wicket. Only 1 run was scored off the next two balls and on the 4th ball, he delivered an excellent Yorker to uproot the middle stump of the batsman. With this, Dental Wagon won the match by 6 runs.
Pradnesh was adjudged the man of the match for his knock of 34 and scoring crucial runs in the super over.
Paresh Pandit from Wagons told CricketGraph, “It was a great experience. The match really went down to the wire. It was obviously a lot of pressure in the super over. Team showed faith in me and I am happy that I delivered. Overall it was a good team effort.”

ITC Maurya vs Ram Pal Cricket Academy at St. Stephen’s college ground Delhi
Venue: Parsee Cyclists
A decent batting performance followed by a devastating bowling show from the opening bowlers handed CapGemini the title of Milan Memorial 40 Over league by a whopping margin of 166 runs. Such a margin of victory will force the readers to think that CapGemini must have made a really big score and then bowled out the opposition. But it’s their bowling that enabled them to secure the victory by such a huge margin even without scoring a very high score.
CapGemini had their luck with the coin and they decided to put runs on the board. Openers Vishwas and Umesh provided a decent solid start to the innings, scoring 52 runs for the first wicket. Due to some solid contributions from the middle order comprising Yogesh and Paresh’s 21 and 45 respectively and some late overs slogging by Jayshil Churi enabled CapGemini to post a competitive 219 in their allotted 40 overs.
Sandesh Agare and Sandesh Bhoir captured a couple of wickets each while other bowlers managed a wicket each for their team.
220 was a challenging total to chase in 240 balls. Add to that the pressure of finals. That is what took Abbott by surprise. What also took them by surprise was the opening bowling combination of Cap Gemini. The pair of Jayshil and Ashwin bowled the spells of their lives and shared all 10 wickets between themselves. The just demolished the batting line up of Abbott, as they folded for mere 53 runs in the 15th over, thereby losing by 166 runs. Not a single Abbott batsmen could withstand the bowlers as they succumbed to the pressure. Jayshil captured a 6 wicket haul while Ashwin walked away with 4.
This without a doubt can be termed as one of the most one-sided victories in a tournament final. Jayshil Churi bagged both man of the match and man of the series awards. CapGemini skipper Umesh was adjudged the best batsman and Sandesh Bhoir from Abbott was given the best bowler award.
Rehman Siddique from Abbott says, “It was a great tournament and in the finals we did well to restrict the opposition to below 230. I feel that if we had saved wickets early in our innings, we would have stood a chance. Congratulations to CapGemini for such an excellent bowling performance and winning the tournament.”
Umesh from CapGemini says, “It was a wonderful tournament and our young team performed really well. We hope to continue in the same manner and come back again next year to retain the title.”
Brief Scores:
CapGemini: 219/9 in 40 overs (Paresh 45, S. Bhoir 2/22, S Agare 2/41)
Abbott: 53 all out in 14.2 overs (Ajit 17, Churi 6/20, Ashwin 4/8)

Ever since the concept of Super overs was developed to force a result of tied matches, the occurrences have been rare. But it generates a lot of excitement and once again gives an equal chance to both the teams to win the match, no matter what has happened earlier. And if this happens in a tournament final, it surely becomes a treat for the spectators. In the final of Milan Corporate League T20, Kotak Mahindra edged out Mihir Trading to win by 2 wickets in the super over and lift the title.
Mihir Trading won the toss and elected to bat first. They were off to a great start with openers Shrey (45 runs, 37 balls) and Jay (14 runs, 20 balls) scoring 60 runs in 9 overs. But the turnaround happened when 3 wickets fell in the space of 2 overs, jolting Mihir’s progress. In the next 7 overs, Mihir added 48 runs without losing any further wickets. But the next turnaround was just about to happen.
In the drama that unfolded in 18th and 19th overs, next 4 wickets fell with the score static at 112. With this they also lost the chance to push the total to a competitive one and ended with just 131. Nishikant captured 4 while Premal captured 3 wickets for their team.
Chasing 132, Kotak had a bad start as both the openers were back with just 12 runs on the board. But No. 3 Ajit (51 runs, 45 balls) and No. 4 Siddharth (30 runs, 24 balls) steadied the ship by adding 59 runs for the 4th wicket. But after this partnership was broken, Mihir picked up wickets at regular intervals and kept the match hanging in balance. It was only due to a brilliant cameo by Tushar (27 runs, 16 balls) towards the end that Kotak were able to reach 131 and take the game to super over. Vishal was the pick of the bowlers for Mihir, scalping 3 wickets for just 15 runs in his 4 overs and sending one maiden.
Now both the teams had equal chance to win the game but Kotak must be cursing themselves at this stage not to pull off the game earlier. And as it turned out, Kotak held their nerve in the super over to emerge out as champions by 2 wickets. Premal captured two wickets in the super over giving away 10 runs. Kotak chased down the total on the 6th ball with a six by Siddharth, thus winning by 2 wickets.
Ajit Singh was given the awards for Man of the match and best batsman. Vishal Gajra from Mihir trading won the best bowler title. Meer Ibrahim walked away with the Man of the Series title.
Speaking with CricketGraph, let’s see what players said:
Premal from Kotak says, “It was a super nail biting finish to an evenly contested match. We are glad we held our nerve to win the title.”
Man of the Series Meer Ibrahim says, “It was my responsibility to give a good start with the bowl and thankfully I succeeded till the semi-final. Glad to take 14 wickets for my team. I big thank you to all my teammates for their support.”
Man of the Match Ajit Singh says, “It was a final in true sense and both the teams played to their potential. Fortunately for us we planned the run rate no loss of wickets in the middle overs gave us the right platform to accelerate later in the innings. Congratulations to both the teams for putting up a good show. It feels good to contribute especially when it comes at the right time and helps your team to win the final.”
Brief Scores:
Mihir Trading: 131/8 in 20 overs (Shrey 45, Darshan 26, Nishikant 4/25, Premal 3/35)
Kotak Mahindra: 131/8 in 20 overs (Ajit 51, Siddharth 30, Vishal 3/15)
