Skipper, Darshit Zaveri from Motilal Oswal scores a match winning 90 in Pulse White Ball Corporate T20 League 2018-19

Darshit Zaveri, opener batsman and skipper of Motilal Oswal, provided the super fast start, Dhruv Sheth and Abhishek Tawde built an outstanding platform, and specially Abhisekh gave the Motilal Oswal innings a furious finish, whomping two sixes and three fours in a 12-ball 32. A target of 245 always seemed too much for Pepe Jeans, even on this super-flat New surface. The Pepe Jeans made a valiant charge in their own innings, but did not have the firepower that Motilal Oswal possessed, and ultimately went down by 36 runs in a match of the Pulse White Ball Corporate T20 League 2018-19, organized by Pulse Entertainment Sports Event and played at the New Hind Sporting Club Ground,Matunga East, Mumbai on Saturday.

Motilal Oswal won the toss and elected to bat first. Captain stole the show,106-run stand off 42 balls between Darshit Zaveri and Pankit had already set Motilal Oswal on track for a mammoth score. Darshit was by a distance the more explosive of the two, hitting nine sixes and eight fours – to hurtle to 90 off just 31 balls. Darshit Zaveri also won the title ‘Man of the Match’ . What a terrific inning!

For Pepe Jeans, Chetan Thakur hit 71 off 40, and Krishna Kumar made 51 off 16, but even with a strong support, they never looked like getting close. While a few the Pepe Jeans’ batsmen can take some positives from the game, their bowlers will probably want to forget it. Chaitan, Govardhan and Kailash all disappeared at more than 9 an over. As with the bat, so was Krishna great with the ball. Krishna (4/30) was the pick of the Pepe Jeans bowlers.

“We won the toss and decided to bat first. It was a flat surface to bat. As the leg-side boundary was short, we were looking for a total of 300 on board. Our score was 106 without any loss in just 6.5 overs. But, then I tried to hit a long shot over the covers and unfortunately got out at the last ball of very same over. It was a good partnership. All of us were playing without any pressure. During the field time, we actually dropped a catch of Chetan and also missed a runout. And last over of the innings went bad for our team. Now we’re hoping best for the semifinals.” – Darshit Zaveri said to Cricketgraph.
