Played at the Vengsarkar Academy, Mahul, AHC Smashers opting to bat first posted a decent total of 160/7 in 20 overs. Even though they lacked someone who could score big but the good part was all their batsman chipped in with cameos of 10’s and 20’s with opener Ajay Thakur’s 29 being the highest score. From the bowlers, Ravi Sarangan with 2/26 in 4 overs was the pick of the lot.

Edifice Consultants in reply were off to a flying start with openers Mahesh Hirpara and Sumeet V (42 off 44) putting on 70 runs for the 1^st wicket. Mahesh laid the foundation with a quick 22 ball 44 (7 fours, 2 sixes) which changed the momentum in edifice’s favor. Middle order players Viren Talreja at no.3 (35 off 21) & Sagar Chauhan at no.5 (26* off 11) did the finishing work as Edifice chased down the score in mere 16.4 overs.

Result- Edifice Consultants won the match by 7 wkts while Mahesh Hirpara for his all-round performance of 44 runs & 1 wicket was declared ‘”man of the match”
