In-form Vivek Patel’s fiery 60* powers IDBI to a title win of the Pulse T20 Tournament ‘18

Played at the Oval Maidan, it was the all important finals between Cric Spartans and IDBI where in both the teams have fought hard throughout the tournament to reach the finals. Both the teams were well balanced and an exciting competition was bound to happen.

Cric Spartans winning the toss elected to bat first with an aim of making a big total. However, Cricspartans were not able to make a big total and make much of an impact as they scored only 124/5 in 20overs which is quite a defendable total in a T20 game. Tanmay (34*) and Mithun(26*) top scored the but the team lacked acceleration at the end. From the bowlers Shubham S was the pick of the bowlers taking 2/26 in 4overs.

Chasing 125, IDBI who have a really strong batting line up chased down the score successfully in 18overs. Even though the openers fell early but the dependable Vivek Patel who has moulded himself into a T20 specialist played a match winning knock of 60*off 43balls. Vivek who smashed 5fours worked hard running between the wickets keeping the scoreboard ticking. Arbaz Shaikh also gave a good support scoring 37 at no.4 as IDBI team won the finals by 8wkts.

IDBI win the Pulse T20 Tournament in style with great team co-ordination while Vivek Patel was declared ‘man of the match’. The consistent Vivek was also declared the ‘man of the series’.
