Hard Hitter Akshay smashes 39 ball 100* for MCC in JFSL T20

Winning the toss MCC team decided to bat first and started off very cautiously. The start was so slow that MCC were 36/1 in first 7 overs however the opening batters saw through the swinging new ball. It seemed as if the opening batters were confident of the powerful arsenal they had in stock.

 

 

In came Akshay who made is presence felt on the Matunga ground within the first few balls by dismissing the ball from the word go. Pace, swing or spin, Akshay was indifferent and showed no mercy. Players from other nearby matches stopped their play to see Akshay bat. Most of the Mulund Knockers fielders were assigned a new role of fetching the ball from outside the park.

 

 

Akshay single handedly took the match away from opponents by scoring an unbeaten 100 off 39 balls which was decorated with 11 fours and 9 massive sixes. He could see the ball like a football and scored at will,punishing every ball with four or six.

 

Mulund Knockers were all out in 18 overs with less than 115 on board and scummed to chasing a huge target of 223.

 

Akshay surely is a batsman to watch out for in the ongoing season 3 of Jolly Friends Sports league.
