Tight bowling by Vijaya Bank helps them defeat Reliance in the DY Patil T20 Cup’19

Vijaya Bank electing to bat first at Reliance Ghansoli Ground managed to put up a healthy total of 166/8 in 20 overs. Vijaya Bank had batsman giving good starts with 3 batsman scoring in 30’s but they lacked someone who could take the innings till the very end or a total of 180+ was surely on the cards for Vijaya Bank. Fast bowler Rahul Shukla was the pick of the bowlers where he conceded only 23 runs with 4 wkts in 4 overs at a time when other bowlers were leaking runs from the other end.

Defending 166, Reliance 1 managed to score 159/9 in 20 overs falling short by a meagre 7 runs. They faced a similar problem like Vijaya Bank as they lacked a batsman who could take the match till the very end.  SL Akshay bagged 3 wkts while Stalin and Kartik bagged 2 wkts each.
