By Juili Ballal

On March 15 and March 16,  Teleperformance Global SPL locked horns against Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd. (HPCL) at Worli Sports Club during the MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) Corporate Trophy tournament.  Teleperformance Global SPL  won the toss and elected to bat first.

Riding on Raunaq Sharma’s delectable 90, Teleperformance Global SPL posted a mammoth total of 291 in 52.5 overs. Sharma was the top run scorer for his team and his 66-ball innings was embellished with 10 boundaries and four sixes. Kalpesh Sawant (45 runs) and Aarya Desai (42 runs) also made some useful contributions with the bat to help their team post a competitive score. At one stage, Teleperformance Global SPL were struggling at 6-115 in 27.2 overs but then Sharma and Sawant came together to stitch an 88-run partnership off 79 balls for the seventh wicket. For HPCL, Anurag Singh was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped 5-79.  

In reply, HPCL could manage to score only 73 runs as they were bundled out cheaply in 24.4 overs, losing the match by 218 runs. None of the HPCL batters looked in shape as they made a beeline to the pavilion in quick time. For Teleperformance Global SPL, Sunny Patel and Asif Shaikh were the top performers with the ball as they struck with 3-9 and 3-16 respectively. 

Teleperformance Global SPL beat HPCL by a massive margin of 218 runs during the MCA Corporate Trophy.
