By Juili Ballal

On March 23, Reliance Group Sports Club locked horns against Cipla Ltd. It was the second semi-final of ‘C’ Division in the MCA Corporate Trophy tournament. Cipla Ltd. won the toss and elected to bat first.

Cipla Ltd. posted a respectable score of 9-217 in 40 overs. Opening batter Rohit Purabiya top scored with a 97-ball 65. Purabiya received support from middle order batter Bipin Waghela, who chipped in with an unbeaten 57 off 39 balls. On the other hand, the left arm spinner Mayur Deolekar was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 3-32 in eight overs, including two maidens. Onkar Jadhav bowled well in tandem with Deolekar to pick up 2-47 in seven overs.

In reply, Reliance Group Sports Club chased down the target in 35.1 overs, to win the match by two wickets. Akash Ayyar (68 runs off 65 balls) and Rakesh Chaudhary (51 runs off 53 balls) led the run chase from the front. Mayur Deolekar (38 not out off 25 balls) too made a useful contribution with the bat lower down the order. On the other hand, Suchit Devle was the wrecker-in-chief for Cipla Ltd. as he bagged 4-29 in eight overs.

A complete team effort by Reliance Group Sports Club ensured them a two-wicket win in the semi-final against Cipla Ltd. during the MCA Corporate Trophy.
