Played at the Vengsarkar Academy at Mahul, this match witnessed bowling figures by a talented bowler which is a rarity in t20’s. Bakul Shah came up with a 7wkt haul in a t20 match which allows only 4 overs to the bowlers which means he took a wicket on every 4th ball he bowled.

Trafigura who won the toss elected to bowl first and their decision seemed to have worked completely as they restricted ICICI to just 118runs in 20 overs with their openers top scoring with 20’s. The bowler who inflicted maximum damage and single handedly ran through the entire batting line up of ICIC was medium pacer Bakul Shah as he came up with amazing bowling figures of 7/18 in 4 overs. Right-arm off spinner Bakul kept on giving important breakthroughs and hardly allowed anyone to settle with his excellent line and length which reaped rewards not only for him but also for his team.

In reply, ICICI started off with a bang removing their top 3batsman for ducks but it was Anil Bhalala at no.4 who changed the script of the game with his match winning 89* off just 55balls. Anil who played at a strike rate of 150+ smashed  9fours and 3sixes to help his team win the match by 4wkts. Trafigura XI won the match in a commanding manner but it was definitely Bakul with the ball and Anil with the bat who stood out in the match. With these bowling perfomance, Bakul certainly looks like a strong contender to make in into the rankings of Mumbai wide “Cricketgraph Top 5 Bowling Spells for December” which will come out in Jan.
