Dimension Data played Airtel on the National pitch at Cross Maidan in the Milan T20 Mega Corporate League.
Looking to take advantage of morning dew, Airtel chose to bowl first. Airtel bowlers bowled excellent line and lenghts taking advantage of conditions. Paul was exceptional as he took 2 wickets for 21 runs. Coming into bowl late in the innings Ravi too bowled excellent spell picking up 3 for 20. Dimension Data top order batsmen got their eyes in but couldnt materialize and that hurt them in the end as they could post an average total of 136 runs. Saurabh scored run-a-ball 35 while Sukhjit provided late spike with 15-ball-25.
Airtel got off to a disastrous start, loosing both the openers for duck. In fact at one point the scoreboard read 0.5 overs, 4 runs and 3 wickets. While Mayank and Ravi got out on golden duck, Vishal lasted for 2 balls. Harish Kadam accounted for all 3 wickets. Dimension sniffed victory but it was too early.
Prakash Aswan didn’t let the wickets affect him and played with a positive mindset. He attacked all bowlers scoring a quick fire 59 off just 28 deliveries to see his side through. He was very well supported by Sharad and Mayur. Sharad too had his day as he scored 37 off just 18 deliveries.
