Ishan Mithbavkar’s patient 102 helps Abbott register a win over Omni Marines

0

The Azad Maidan witnessed an entertaining match between Abbott Healthcare & Omni Marines in the ongoing Shiraz-e-hind tournament. Abbott won the toss & put themselves to bat first as they had a strong batting line up in their arsenal. Though they lost the first wicket quickly but right handed opener Rehman Siddique’s stroke filled 48 off just 38 balls at the top of the order gave Abbott a lot of momentum.

Abbott who were 2 down for around 70 runs needed someone who could anchor the innings till the end & so came Ishan Mithbavkar. The right handed wicket keeper batsman played one of the classiest knocks we could ever see. While batsman on the other side were coming in & putting quick cameos, Ishan stuck to the crease like a wall. Ishan Mithbavkar scored a classy 102 off just 101 balls which included 10 perfectly timed boundaries. Never once did he look troubled & neither did he try playing any rash shots. Ishan was also quite energetic between the wickets & rotated the strike quite nicely. Shantanu Chaudhary also provided decent support to Ishan scoring an aggressive 35 ball 47.

Remaining unbeaten till the end, Mithbavkar gave us vibes of Laxman & Dravid through his patient knock of 102. Ishan’s century helped Abbott post a fine total of 283 in 40 overs which is on any given day tough to chase. Omni Marines looked confident but none of their batsman could convert their starts into big knocks apart from their no.6 batsman Prem Jadhav’s 63(53 balls). Abbott successfully managed to restrict them to 240 all out in just 37.5overs. Sandeep Bhoir bowled well chipping in with the last three wickets of Omni Marines & finishing the game in style.

Coach Chandrashekar Kalamkar must be happy to see his boys perform so well & man of the match Ishan must be high on confidence too. Considering his class & temperament, Ishan is surely a batsman to watch out for in the next matches of the tournament.
