In-form Sachin Yadav’s 52 ball 103 falls flat as CCI get the better of New Hind in the Talim Shield’18

Cricket Club of India after being made to bat first at Sachin Tendulkar Ground, Kandivali replied with a perfect response smashing 214/7 in 20 overs which is a very good T20 total. T20 Specialist Paul Valthaty showed he still has lot of cricket left in him as he smashed a fiery 30 ball 66 opening the innings which had 6 biggies. It was also treat to watch the experienced Vinit Indulkar smashing a 14 ball 40 at a strike rate of 286! Watching Vinit who is a calm and classy batsman whom you usually associate with the classical format of the game playing in such fashion was a treat to watch.

New Hind SC despite some early setbacks were in the game throughout the innings thanks to their run machine Sachin Yadav. The left hander who has scored runs in every format this year tick marked one more format i.e T20 as he plonked the bowlers with absolute ease showing the form he is. Sachin scored 103 runs off 52 balls (10 fours, 3 sixes) while Avdhoot gave good support with 54 but eventually good death bowling by CCI bowlers made New Hind 14 runs short of the target.

CCI won the match while it was entertainment from both the sides!
