Mayuresh & Kalpesh steer Mumbai to a thumping finals win in the West Zonal T20 Tournament ‘18

Name of the event- All India cricket association for the physically challenged west zonal T20 tournament at Kolhapur

Played in Kolhapur, it was the all important finals between two really promising teams namely Mumbai and Maharashtra where in Mumbai won the toss and elected to bat first with an aim of making a healthy target to defend.

Mumbai batting first managed to score 131/7 in 20 overs which is if not the best a defendable score in most of the situations in T20’s. Opener Mayuresh who has been consistent with the bat throughout the tournament top scored with a gritty 32 as the rest of the batsman from the other end struggled to convert their starts. All-rounder Kalpesh was the 2^nd highest scorer chipping in with 25 runs which came in handy.

Defending a total of 132 in T20 is always tough but Mumbai bowlers did a great job in restricting Maharashtra to just 88runs all out in 16.4 overs. All the bowlers collectively did a great job of bowling tight with all-rounder Kalpesh being the pick of the bowlers taking 3/19.

Mumbai team wins the tournament and it was certainly a proud moment for the team as well as for the Mumbaikars. Mayuresh who has been practicing since 2006 with Kwality Club was declared ‘man of the series ‘ for his consistent batting throughout the tournament.

Tournament was inaugurated by: Great padmabhusan awardee Indian captain SHRI AJIT WADEKAR and Maharashtra state revenue minister SHRI CHANDRAKANT DADA PATIL
