By Juili Ballal

On March 30, DTDC Express Ltd. took on Reliance Group Sports Club during the finals of ‘C’ Division MCA Corporate Trophy tournament. Reliance Group Sports Club won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Riding on twin half-centuries from Omkar Ghule (80 runs off 70 balls) and Maxwell Swaminathan (70 runs off 62 balls), DTDC Express Ltd. posted a fighting score of 220 in 38.1 overs. The middle order batters took the onus of their team’s batting as the top order failed to contribute big.  On the other hand, Mayur Deolekar was the pick of the bowlers for Reliance Group Sports Club as he struck with 4-42 in eight overs.

In reply, Reliance Group Sports Club fought hard as they scored 184. However they were bowled out in 38.2 overs, losing the finals by 34 runs. Akash Ayyar top scored with 47-ball 33 and towards the end Onkar Jadhav chipped in with a 30-ball 28 not out. On the other hand, Rakesh Naik wreaked havoc with the ball as he scalped 5-39 in eight overs. The slow left arm spinner rattled the opposition batting line-up in a jiffy. 

Omkar Ghule, Maxwell Swaminathan and Rakesh Naik were the top performers of the match. The trio powered DTDC Express Ltd. to the ‘C’ Division MCA Corporate Trophy championship by beating Reliance Group Sports Club.
