Sachin scalps 5 while Vedprakash back to groove as he smashes a thumping ton in the Shankar Patil Memorial Cup ‘18

Same time last year in Dec-January-feb, a run fest had begun from the bat of Ved, he smashed 4double centuries and even after that kept he on scoring runs consistently and now comes the month of feb in 2018 and he again starts the year on a similar note.

Played between Union Cricket Academy & Friends CC at the Dombivali Gymkhana, Union C.A won the toss and elected to field first with an aim of restricting Friends CC to a low total. However, Union Ca A were not aware about Friends CC’s prolific opener who has a tendency to convert his 50’s into hundreds and then hundreds into big hundreds. Opening the innings, Vedprakash Jaiswal scored a very solid looking 104 off 103balls which included 14fours and 3sixes. Ved whose natural style is usually attacking tried keeping calm and set his eyes in first before he started scoring freely. Apart from him, Rugved More was the second highest scorer with 55* off mere 25balls (4fours,4sixes). Rugved who is another promising name made sure the eyes were on him too with his electrifying knock which eventually took the team total to 254/5 in 40 overs.

Defending 255, Friends CC restricted Union C.A to just 153/all out in 33.4 overs. Off spinner Sachin Rao was the most impressive bowler in the match coming up with match winning bowling figures of 5/29 in 8overs. Sachin bowled in the right areas with impressive line and length while he was also turning the ball nicely. Friends CC won the match by 101runs where in Sachin and Ved stood out with their individual performances.
