Eknath Shinde CC II vs Sporting CC

Sporting CC after opting to bat first reached a very modest total of 138/9 in 20 overs. Oninder Singh Gill at no.3 played a sparkling innings of 51 but he lacked support from the other end. Ashay Palkar was the pick of the bowlers coming up with a crucial spell of 4/24 in 4 overs with a maiden while Atul Singh with 2/23 was equally impressive.
