Sarthak and Sushant help Automotive beat Indusind by eight wickets

It was a lopsided affair between Automotive and Indusind on Saturday at MIG Bandra, Mumbai.  Winning the toss and electing to field first, Automotive restricted Indusind to a paltry 64-8 in 20 overs, courtesy their disciplined bowling and excellent fielding. Out of the eight wickets, three were run outs which show that Automotive were alert and lightning quick on the field. Sushant Waje was the pick of the bowlers accounting for 2-8 in his three overs. Waje bowled in tight areas not allowing the batsmen to score freely off him. Milind Bholanekar top scored with 14 as Indusind has a terrible day with the bat.

Chasing a meager 65, Automotive finished off the game in style in 9.1 overs, winning the match by eight wickets. Azhar Ansari (20 not out) and Sarthak Gangavane (26 not out) completed the formalities. Ansari and Gangavane looked in fine touch and ensured that they saw their team home. First with the bat and then with the ball, Bholanekar could not be left out of the game. He scalped 2-28 in his three overs, however the score was too less for the Indusind bowlers to defend. 

Sarthak Gangavane was awarded with the Man of the Match for his unbeaten knock of 26 in 17 balls and a fantastic run out. “Though we were chasing an easy target, we lost two quick wickets. It was important for me to be out there in the middle and ease the nerves in the dressing room. Our bowlers bowled really well today, and I am happy that I could contribute in the field by getting a crucial run out”, stated Sarthak.
