Trafigura Global Team Won by 7 Wickets against Sony Pictures Team in "Inbox Woods Corporate T20 Championship 2019" Cricket Tournament Mumbai

Trafigura stomped all over Deutsche Bank (IWE) to register a two-wicket victory in a match of Inbox Woods Corporate T20 Championship 2019, organised by Inbox Woods Events & Entertainment and played at Venus Sports Academy, Goregaon West, Mumbai on 21st April.

Put in to bat, after the dismissals of their two leading batsmen, Deutsche Bank needed another member of the top order to step into the breach, and Sudhakar held the innings together with his fifty. Now they were looking for a favorable partnership, then Sudhakar and Vishal produced a 54 run third wicket partnership. Sudhakar and Perin also produced 73 run fourth wicket partnership. Sudhakar’s impressive fifty of the competition glued Deutsche Bank’s innings together, but their 156 for 6 didn’t look like enough to challenge the Trafigura.
