Datamatics team after opting to bat first at Parsee Cyclists, Azad Maidan managed to post a competitive total of 245/all out in 40 overs. The curious case with Datamatics team was the fact that they had batsman chipping in with starts till as low as no.9 but they lacked someone who could capitalize on the starts. Manoj Sonawane coming at no.5 top scored for Datamatics team scoring a quickfire 37 off 26 balls (3 fours, 1 six) at a healthy strike rate of 142.00. From the Piramal Team, Gaurang Parekh, Amit Sinha and Ravi Prakash chipped in with 2 wkts each.
Chasing 246 at an edge above 6 runs per over was always going to be difficult & Piramal team certainly must have felt the pressure getting all out for 120 runs in 30.4 overs. Datamatics bowlers were spot on with their bowling not only taking wickets at crucial junctures but also not allowing the Piramal batters to score freely. Shashank Jadhav with 3/10 in 7 overs (2 maidens) proved to be the pick of the lot while Saiel Surve and Rasik Naik also chipped in with 2 wkts a piece handing over a 125 run win to Datamatics. Shashank Jadhav for his miserly spell was declared ‘man of the match”
Canara Vijay CC after being put to bat first at Oval Maidan were bundled out for 84 runs in 28.2 overs.

Borivali CC on the back of Tushar Tiwari’s 56 declared their innings at 131/5 winning the match on 1st innings lead.

There are so many players in Mumbai who are absolute cult figures amongst their cricket mates because of the gigantic records they achieve at Club Level and Rakesh Naik is one such player who has been silently performing since years but has not yet played competitive levels of cricket like Mumbai Ranji or T20 Mumbai or IPL.
Cricketgraph team has been in constant touch with him since years and these are his records which will take your breath away.
Year 2019- Appointed as the captain of the team Borivali CC,he also led the team in Kanga Knockouts where Borivali CC emerged champions.

One of his best performances this year has been the 12 wkt haul he took last Sunday vs Canara Vijay team. Apart from that he also scored 58 runs & took 7 wkts in same match vs Shree Lad Club this season in September.
In 2019, he also lead DTDC team to become the winners of the Pulse T20 Tournament, he scored 180 runs alongwith 16 wkts in 5 games out of which he bagged ‘man of the match’ awards in as many as 4 games.
Year 2018- He was appointed as captain of KRP XI in Kanga Knockout and in that same year he brought the trophy home winning the tournament which ensured KRP XI enters the G Div Kanga League. As a captain he led from the front scoring 410 runs alongwith 26 wkts as he turned out to be the 4th highest run getter in 2018. In 2018, he also smashed a 57 ball hundred which was the fastest of the season while he scored a 104 off 92 balls in the Kanga Knockout finals when his team was struggling at 75/5.
Year 2017– Played for MB Union in D Division, scored 289 runs & took 15 wkts for his side. He was the highest run scorer in D Div for 2017 & 6th highest wicket taker. Under his captaincy, he has won two back to back Kanga knockouts. In that same season, he also smashed a 75 ball 109 which was amongst the fastest hundreds of Kanga that season.
This 30yr old certainly looks well deserved to play in more competetive teams and tournaments if given the right opportuities.

As a skipper, Prasad Pawar no matter which format has been a believer of batting first rather than chasing, even in Kanga he was one of the very few skippers to opt to bat first. Parkophene batting first at Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana posted a total of 343/9 in 70 overs. Despite the openers falling out early, it was their young no.3 entrant Amogh Bhatkal impressing one and all with a brilliant 118 off 146 balls which had 16 fours and a six. Prasad Pawar (45) and Sagar Mishra (64) at the middle order played crucial knocks and were quite supportive to the youngster Amogh. Senior player Pardeep Sahu further chipped in with quick 35* lending that perfect finish to their innings. Pardeep who has been practicing a lot in the nets to improve his batting certainly looks a different & a improved batsman too adding an edge alongwith his stellar bowling abilities.
Islam Gymkhana in reply were bundled out for 183 runs thanks to a match winning spell of spin bowling by all-rounder Sagar Mishra. Sagar returned with bowling figures of 7/41 in 12.2 overs as Parkophene Cricketers went on to win the match by 160 runs.
