JSW Vs NABARD SPORTS CLUB

Tournament – Times Shield F Division | Venue :- Mahim Juvenile ground, Shivaji Park | Date : 7 Mar 2015

This was a day when everything went JSW cricket team’s way, batting first JSW scored an imposing 347- 6. Skipper Rakesh Chaudhary 176(134) and Rajesh Pingulkar 90(81) supported each other well and scored runs on all sides of the ground. Rakesh c in particular was in great form and every shot seemed to cross the boundary with ease.

Nabard bowlers who stood out were Vikas Sathe 9-49-3wickets and Suresh Koli 9-74-3wickets.

It was a huge total to chase for Nabard Sports Club from the word go. And one would have assumed that JSW team would be a bit complacent with such a huge total to defend. However that was not the case. Nabard team openers, Nilesh Bagwe 18(39) and R.Nemane 22(37) started off cautiously however in the end they scored a paltry 127 in less than 30 overs.
