Quickster Mehboob Shaikh rattles Sun Pharma CC with a 5wkt haul while Shaban does the job with the bat in the Times Shield ‘18
Played at the Western Railways, Cross Maidan, it was a 3rd round crucial clash between DMCC & Sun Pharma CC where in DMCC who have a strong bowling line up elected to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a low total.
Their decision to bowl first was quite spot on as Sun Pharma CC were reduced to just 73runs all out in 20 overs. Speedster Mehboob Shaikh who has been taking wickets for DMCC consistenly and has become their pace spearhead once again showed how dangerous he can be with the ball as he ripped through the batting line up of Sun Pharma taking a scorching 5/24 in 7overs which eventually restricted them to a meagre total. Mehboob is improving leaps and bounds with his accuracy and its showing on the field when he is performing while Jagdish Jadhav and Shobit Shetty also bowled well scalping 2wkts each.
Chasing 74, DMCC’s very own version of Sehwag-opener Shaban Shaikh who has throughout the season played aggressive cricket and has given good starts made a mockery of the bowlers once again smashing a 24ball 50 hitting 9fours in it. Shaban by far smashed the fastest half century of this year’s Times Shield as DMCC won the match by 9wkts in mere 6.5 overs on the back of his exclusive & enterprising batting.
It was a commendable win for DMCC who are progressing really well in the tournament while Mehboob once again stood out with the ball while opener Shaban did the job while chasing.
