Match 1- Sporting CC vs Datamatics

Datamatics team after being put to bat first were not able to create any ripples managing a modest total of 1001/9 in 20 overs. They had everyone chipping in with 10’s and 20’s but they lacked someone who could stitch a big innings. The bowlers did an impressive job keeping a leash on the batsman with Gurudas Shenoy (2/13 in 4 overs),  Aiswarya Surve (2/13 in 4 overs) and Oninder Gill (2/16) being the pick of the bowlers.

Chasing a score like 101 is a mere formality nowadays in T20 cricket but Datamatics bowlers did not allow the opposition to win before taking away their 7 wkts and taking match to the 19th over.

Sporting Cricket Club eventually won the match by 3 wkts and 9 balls to spare while Aaditya Dhumal was declared ‘player of the match”
