In-form Saurav Nautiyal’s 106 steers PBC Delhi to a thumping win in the PBC Cup‘18
Played at the AFS Sports Center Ground in Delhi, two promising teams namely PBC Delhi and PBC Haryana where in PBC Delhi won the toss and elected to bat first as the wicket looked good to bat on with an aim of making a big 1st innings total.
Their decision to bat first was quite accurate as they notched up a massive total of 262/3 in 25overs. The openers gave a good start while Saurav Naitiyal who opened the innings went on to score another ravishing 106 off 70balls. Smashing 17fours and 2sixes, Saurav dominated the bowlers from the word go while Abhishek C also played a splendid nock of 89runs in mere 36balls hitting 14fours and 4sixes. Both the players stitched a match winning partnership of 144runs in just 61balls which took the game away from Haryana.
Chasing 262 at more than 10runs per over, the pressure was surely on the chasing team as its difficult to chase big totals like this. Eventually PBC Haryana were restricted to 197/6 in 25overs. Even though they batted well but it wasn’t enough as the bowlers did an excellent job.
PBC Delhi won the match by 65runs while Saurav Nautiyal who is in excellent all-round form was declared ‘man of the match’ for his brilliant hundred.
