Sunil Somrajan all round heroics deflates LnT in Dreamz Quarterfinal

In one of the prestigious corporate tournaments in Mumbai, The Dreamz trophy, first quarterfinal of 40 overs was played between 2 of the best corporate teams, Reliance Money and LnT.

As is a norm these days, teams often bat first in a knock out tournament. LnT chose to bat first with intention of putting up a decent total on board. But they lost first 4 wickets quickly and the match threatened to be over quickly but Ajit Nayar (46) and Nishit (25) stitched a good partnership to stop the slide and earn runs. But it was strikes by lower order batsman Ameya Joshi that made a huge difference. Ameya scored a quickfire half century helping LnT put up 164 in 38 overs. Reliance money bowlers did a good job. While Munna picked up 4 wickets, Sunil struck with 3 blows.

Reliance Money’s openers Sunil Somrajan and in-form bat Amrut Shetye were right on the money. Both played a great knock without any pressure of the quarterfinal. While Sunil scored a sublime 64 not out, Amrut scored brisk 74 not out. The target was achieved in 28th overs, Reliance winning by massive 10 wickets and 12 overs to spare. LnT played well but it was Sunil’s day.
