Shreedip Mangela steers Route Mobile to a nine wicket win against IDFC Bank
Winning the toss and electing to bat first against Route Mobile on Sunday at MIG Bandra, Mumbai, IDFC Bank had a horrendous day with the bat as they were done and dusted for a paltry 76 in 19 overs. Mayur Rathod was the lone warrior for IDFC who scored 25 off 29, getting no support from the other batsmen. With the ball, Hitesh Parmar wrecked havoc as he accounted for 3-23 in his four overs. Parmar was outstanding with his lines and lengths and gave no respite to the batsmen.
Chasing a small target of 77 was always going to be easy breezy. Opening bat Shrideep Mangela got off to a flyer and remained unbeaten on 58 off just 29 balls. Shreedip’s knock was laced with 11 boundaries and a six. Watching Mangela bat was a spectator’s delight as he made batting look so elegant. In the end, Route Mobile chased down the target in just seven overs, winning the match by nine wickets.
Kishore Hande was the lone wicket-taker for IDFC. The Man of the Match award was presented to Shrideep Mangela for his blistering innings. Shreedip averred, “Being an opening batsman, I enjoy facing the medium pacers. The wicket was good to bat on, and I was middling the ball really nice. I hope to take this form going into the next match as well”.
