Gaurav Dalvi & Rishikesh Puranik power Jaico Cricket Club to a win in Kanga Knock Out Tournament’22

By Juili Ballal

On May 1, Jaico Cricket Club handed a crushing 10-wicket defeat to Errant Cricketers during the Kanga Knock Out Tournament in Mumbai. 

Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Errant Cricketers were bundled out for 117 in 37 overs. Nikhil Karkera starred with a bat scoring a brilliant 56. However Karkera did not find any able allies who could bat with him and carry on with the innings. On the other hand, Jaico Cricket Club’s Majid Qureshi was the wrecker-in-chief as he scalped 4-15. Harikesh Yadav and Abhishek Yadav were the other wicket-takers as they claimed three apiece.

In reply, Jaico Cricket Club made light work of the run chase as they completed the formalities in 23 overs. The opening pair of Gaurav Dalvi and Rishikesh Puranik stitched a 118-run partnership to steer their side home. While Dalvi plundered an unbeaten 59, Puranik played the perfect second fiddle with an undefeated 43. On the other hand, Errant Cricketers had a tough outing with the ball as the bowlers went wicketless.

Jaico Cricket Club beat Errant Cricketers by 10 wickets in the Kanga Knock Out Tournament.
