Naval Dockyard wins while Vivek Patel scores a hard-fought 52 for DTDC in the Quarters of Times Shield’19

Naval Dockyard after electing to bat first did not manage to put a very big total managing 211/8 in 45 overs with Mangesh being the highest scorer smashing a gritty 57 runs. The DTDC bowlers did a decent job with Rajesh and Rakesh both picking up 3 wkts while Yogesh P taking 2 wkts.

Chasing 212, the chase did got trickier as DTDC kept on losing wickets. Opener Vivek Patel was the saving grace as he scored a fighting knock of 52 runs with 7 boundaries. Vivek speaking exclusively with Cricketgraph shared– In 41st over my spike got stuck in the field & almost suffered knee shift which forced me to go inside the tent. Later I came out batting still I was’nt recovered, still had to go to bat n 1st ball I faced was bowled short pitch, I had to go on the back foot n again my same leg got strained. I went inside at a time when 2 quick wickets were fallen down. I went out to bat again with a lot pain for my team n did my best to save the team. I was batting there till 8wickets had already fallen down & den I got hit wicket unluckily! as DTDC were all out for 140 runs.
