Dushyant Doshi’s half century leads JPV Reality to a victory in the KSG T20 Tournament

JPV Reality & Hurricanes faced other for an important league encounter at Payyade Cricket Ground in Kandivali. Winning the toss, (KSG Stars) JPV Reality elected to bat first since the pitch was dry & particularly good to bat on which would help them post a decent target on the board & keep Hurricanes under pressure.

Batting first, JPV did a fairly good job scoring 162/11 in 20 overs.  Though opener Parashar was out for 1, it was their right handed opener Dushyant Doshi who scored a solid half century at the top of the order laying the foundation for JPV’s innings. Dushyant Doshi scored an aggressive 59 off just 48 balls & smashed 6 fours & a six at a strike rate of almost 123. Umang Shah scored a good 28 ball 33 but it was the late onslaught by Shitanshu Parekh who scored a 14 ball 36(4 fours and 2 sixes) which took his team’s total to 162 in 20 overs. Manan Mehta was bowling really & was the pick of the bowlers with bowling figures of 3/22 in 3 overs followed by 3/37 by Parth Mathuria and 2 wkts for Dhruv Doshi.

Chasing 163, Hurricanes for Acry Organics were not off to a great start with their openers Manan & Rakesh Mehta out for 19 & 0 respectively. However, it was their no.8 & no.9 batman Akash Bhuta and Karan Mehta who ignited some hopes for Hurricanes as both the players gave their best down the order stitching a great 60+ partnership & scoring 30*(20) & 27*(22) respectively. Umang Sheth was the pick of the bowlers taking 2/15 in 3 overs followed by a wicket each for Shitanshu, Nirav, krunal, Harshil & Vipul.

KSG Stars from JPV Reality won the match by 16 runs & Dushyant Doshi was adjudged ‘man of the match’ for his superb knock at the top of the order. Cricketgraph wishes Dushyant & his whole team all the luck for the matches to come.
