Parag’s 45, Khizer’s all-round performance and Dhrumil’s 3/28 helps Sobo Supersonics win in the T20 Mumbai’19

Sobo Supersonics after batting first at Wankhede were off to a patchy start with the top order not able to make much of an impact. However, Parag Khanapurkar played the rescue act hitting a 40 ball 45 to infuse some life into the innings. Khizer Dafedar’s late burst of 33* in just 18 balls further made things better for SOBO as they managed to reach a defendable total of 143/6 in 20 overs. Nehal katakdhond was impressive with the ball being the pick of the bowlers with his spell of 3/17 in 4 overs.

Chasing 144, the openers fell early but Akarshit Gomel did try to play the anchors role with his hard fought 43 but he lacked support from the other end as none of the batsman below him could cross the 20 run mark. Left arm spinner Dhrumil Matkar bowled a game changing spell of 3/28 in 4 overs while he was supported well by the other bowlers especially Khizer who conceded mere 15 runs in 4 overs and also bagged a wicket.

Aakash Tigers eventually managed to reach a total of 133/7 as Sobo Supersonics clinched a win by 11 runs.
