Opener Pranay Khanna’s quick 84 steers Morgan Stanley to a thumping win in the Dreamz T20 Tournament ‘18

Attacking openers are always a threat as they can change the game quickly and Pranay K from Morgan Stanley just did that recently with his attacking batting which took the game away from Edelweiss. Winning the toss, Edelweiss elected to bat first at the Elphinstone ground.

Batting first Edelweiss notched up an average total of 138/all out in 20 overs. Edelweiss were off to a bad start with their top 3 losing quick wickets but it was middle order which somehow saved the grace and especially Rajesh who scored a fighting 52 off 44 deliveries (5fours,1six). Kshitij I with 3/18 in 4overs and Sagar with 2/15 were the pick of the bowlers restraining the batsmen from scoring freely.

Chasing 139 is most of the times a formality unless the team comes up with extra ordinary bowling and Morgan Stanley chased down the score with ease. Attacking opener Pranay K anchored the chase till the end as he scored an entertaining and a match winning knock of 84* off just 55deliveries(10fours, 2sixes). Pranay took on the bowlers with confidence and give proper treatment to the loose balls too as his team won the match by 5wkts and 3.1 overs to spare. It was Morgan Stanley’s day as they fired well from all the departments while Pranay K was declared ‘man of the match’
