Ketan Kharat sizzles for Mahindra Logistics against Omni Marines in Kurukshetra Cup T20 match
Omni marines had a disappointing day with the bat as they were bundled out for a paltry 73 in 17.4 overs against Mahindra Logistics on 9th April at Shivaji Park, Mumbai during the Kurukshetra T20 Cricket Tournament. Apart from Rupesh Popeta (21 runs off 23 balls) and Raj Chaugule (19 runs off 22 balls), rest of the Omni Marines’ batting looked listless. Ashutosh Ghagre and Ketan Kharat were brilliant with the ball, picking up three wickets apiece. Kharat was a miser in giving away runs as he allowed just nine runs off him. He bowled in the right areas, not allowing the batsmen to take him on.
Though the target of 74 does not seem to be a steep one, Omni Marines did not lose hope. They bowled well to grab seven wickets of Mahindra Logistics. Mahindra chased down the target in 12.4 overs, winning the match by three wickets. Coming in at no.3, Chetan Chaudhari steadied the batting ship of Mahindra with a good knock of 22 runs coming off just 18 balls. He hit one boundary and one six in his innings. Anand Kumbhar (17 runs off 18 balls), Ashutosh Ghagre (11 not out off 11 balls) and Narayan Sawant (10 runs off 6 balls) ensured that their team was safe. Jawad Sheikh was the wrecker-in-chief as he finished off with excellent figures of 4-17 in his 3.4 overs.
Ketan Kharat (3-9 in 4 overs) was declared as the Man of the Match for his brilliant bowling display.
