Kishore Khubchandani keep S.H.M Ulhasnagar alive in Friendship Trophy 2019

The S.H.M Ulhasnagar easily accounted for the FCC Sunrisers in Asahi Glass Cricket Ground Taloja, after a destructive first innings opening spell followed by a controlled hand from Kishore Khubchandani and Sanjay condemned the Sunrisers to their poorest start in Friendship Trophy 2019. Sent in after losing the flip, and at one stage slumping to 4 for 26, the FCC Sunrisers huffed and puffed and spluttered their way to 9 for 121 from their 20 overs. At no point were the Sunrisers able to impose their will on the S.H.M Ulhasnagar bowlers.

FCC Sunrisers stumbled to 49 for 5 at the halfway mark after electing to bat. There was no looking back after that, even though Deepak Gaikwad fought through to top score with 36. Five batsmen recorded single-digit scores, with the highest partnership being 23 for the fifth wicket between Deepak Gaikwad and Vishal. Sunrisers’ right-arm leg breaker, Amol S, took 3 off 22 in four overs.

Player of the Match, Kishore Khubchandani top scored with a 15-ball 31* courtesy five boundaries, including two fours, three sixes, and strike rate of 206. And Kishore’s 2 for 10 scuppered a good start and also rattled the middle order. S.H.M Ulhasnagar lost Manish in the third over, but found contributors in Deepak Wadhwani (c) and Kishore Khubchandani as they romped home comfortably to complete a sweep. In the end, S.H.M Ulhasnagar won by 4 wickets with four overs remaining.
