Match winning half centuries by Vicky and Vivek steer IDBI federal to a win in the Victory CCL Tournament ‘18

Played at the New Hind Ground at Matunga, IDBI Federal Life and B2X took on each other for a crucial clash where in B2X won the toss and elected to bat first with an aim of making a big target and putting the opposition under pressure.

B2X batting first were not able to make a big target as they were restricted to just 132/all out in 19.2 overs. None of the batsman managed to make a big impact with Shiv and no.4 top scoring with a 22ball 37. Shiv looked good for his stay at the crease where in he smashed 4fours and 2sixes. The bowlers did an excellent job bowling really tight with Rajendra, Aadesh and Pratik bagging 2wkts each. Vivek Patel also took 1wkt with the ball.

Chasing 133, IDBI who have a strong batting line chased it down with ease on the back of two of their most promising batsman-Vicky and Vivek. Opener Vicky Patil smashed a superlative 43ball 55 smashing 7fours and 2sixes while IDBI’s most consistent batsman Vivek continued his purple patch with the ball anchoring the chase with a 62*off just 44balls smashing 9fours and 2sixes. Both the batsman stitched a 122 runs opening stand which did the job for their team.

IDBI won the match comfortably by 9wkts while Vivek was declared ‘man of the match’ for his all-round perfomance while Vicky’s knock also played a crucial role in their team’s win. It was also good to see Vivek playing for his team despite going through an injury.
