M.C.G.M wins the semis on the back of good bowling & Sandesh Paralkar’s 55 in the Times Cricket Shield ‘18
Played at the Shivaji Park Ground in Dadar, it was the all important semi-finals between L&T Sports Club and BMC where in L&T won the toss and elected to bat first with an aim of making a big 1st innings total and put the opposition under pressure.
However, their decision to bat first seemed to have backfired as they were all bundled out for 103 runs. At one point they were 18/5 and luckily with the help of Sagar Kamble’s 39, L&T reached 103/10 in 23.5 overs. From the bowling side, Harkesh Mehar and Santosh Dhande took 3wkts each while Sandeep Pawar and Santosh Dhande also chipped in with 2wkts. Overall it was a very good bowling perfomance by MCGM where in they did not allow any batsman to score runs freely.
Chasing 104, it was a mere formality to chase where in solid opener Sandesh Paralkar smashed 55 off 47balls (9fours) which anchored the chase for MCGM. Sandesh played some excellent shots in his match winning half century where in MCGM now seal their spot in the finals of the Times Shield on the back of excellent bowling and a solid fifty by Sandesh.
