Opener Omkar Khot’s brilliant 97 steers Sportsman CC to a win in the Kanga Knockout Tournament’19

Sportsmen CC (Kalyan) after opting to bat first at the National CC, Cross Maidan posted a total of 268/10 in 45 overs which is quite a healthy total to defend. Opening the innings, Omkar played a brilliant knock of 97 runs in 100 balls which had 11 fours and 2 sixes. Omkar kept the scoreboard ticking playing at a healthy strike rate as the rest of the batsman chipped in around him. From Apollo, Anirudh Patil with 4/33 was the pick of the bowlers.

Apollo Youngsters lacked batsman who could convert their scores into something substantial apart from Amit Jaiswal who scored a gritty 67 as the team got bundled out for 189 runs. Sportsmen CC won the match by 71 runs and it was Omkar Khot whose 97 runs and one wicket remained the highlight performance in the match.
