Left-arm spinner Mohit Badeshra was the pick of the bowlers taking 3/48 in his 8 overs while another left-arm spinner Ishan Singh took 2/43 in his 6overs.
Chasing 279 at more than 6runs per over is always a pressure situation but Bal Bhawan boys just outclassed the opposition with their terrific batting as they won the match by 2wkts and chased down the score in 38.3 overs. Ankit Pratap scored a 98ball 84 followed by a stunning 32ball 65 by Mayank Rawat which changed the game. Nikhil Gautam also chipped in with a solid looking 66 off 53balls while Ekans Doval remained unbeaten on 32* off just 22balls.
