Dharmendra Desai steers Jacobs to victory against Aker Solutions in SP Champions League match
Riding on Dharmendra Desai’s brilliant knock of 33 runs off 36 balls, Jacobs managed to put up a decent total of 120-9 in full quota of 20 overs against Aker Solutions on 13th Feb at Shivaji Park, Mumbai during the SP Champions League Inter-Engineering T20 cricket tournament. Ganesh Sawant was the pick of the bowlers for Aker Solutions as he finished off with 3-31 in his four overs and received good support from Nilesh Shirke who grabbed 2-21 in his four. Desai was unfortunate to get run out. He was looking in good touch and would have contributed a bigger score with the willow after having got off to a solid start.
In reply, Swapnil Darekar, who top scored with 42 runs off just 25 deliveries, could not take his team home as he was not backed up by the rest of the batting order. Shrikant Patil bowled well for his 2-17 in his four overs. He bowled a disciplined line and length and was consistent throughout his spell. Aker Solutions were restricted to 107-8 in 20 overs, falling short of just 13 runs.
Dharmendra Desai was declared as the Man of the Match for his match winning knock of 33 runs.
