Skipper Sahil Madgaonkar 30* and his three wicket haul(3/31), powers Nanavati to 26-run tough win against A & G in RCF T20 Cup

Sahil Madgaonkar’s soild 30* knock powered Nanavati to a 26 runs victory against A & G in a round match of the 10th RCF T20 Cricket Tournament 2019 for the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Cup, organized by Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Limited under the auspices of MCA and played at the RCF Colony ground, Chembur on Monday.

Put in to bat, Nanavati had made 149 for 5 in 20 overs. They faced almost little difficulty in negotiating the rival bowling attack and their batsmen, in particular openers, scored runs freely and they amassed a difficult total, and they also produced a 45 run partnership for the first wicket. Sahil Madgaonkar batted through the innings, but made only 30 not out of 22 balls, including a single four and single six. In reply, A & G batsmen surrendered rather meekly and were bowled out a measly 123 in only 18.3 overs, and handed Nanavati a win by a enough margin.

A & G’s one drop 3 bat Larson D’costa batted sincerely in scoring 46 runs but unfortunately received no support from the other batters. Opener Swapnil (19 runs) was the only other batsman managed to offer some resistance and get some runs on the board. They also lost their last five precious wickets at the interval of a single run. They were at 5 for 122 after 17.2 overs. This was the actual turning point of the game. The A & G collapsed from 93 for 3 to 123 all out in pursuit of 150 in 20 overs.

Sahil Madgaonkar, medium pacer, of Nanavati won the ‘Man-of-the-Match’ and received the award from Mrs. Ruchi Anand (Commandant CISF RCFL Mumbai). Sahil Madgaonkar, captain of Nanavati, top scored with a 22-ball 30* courtesy two boundaries, including a single pair of four and six, and strike rate of 136. And also his 3 for 31 scuppered a good start and also rattled the middle order. Horror defeat leaves A & G captain Swapnil Salvi ‘speechless’.
