Vijay Nadkar’s seven-fer powers Lilavati Hospital to a win in MCA Corporate Trophy ’22 

By Juili Ballal

On March 11, Lilavati Hospital clashed against IDBI Sports Club during the MCA (Mumbai Cricket Association) Corporate Trophy tournament.  IDBI Sports Club won the toss and elected to bat first.

IDBI Sports Club were bundled out for a modest score of 182 in 38.3 overs. Aaditya Srivastava top scored with a delightful 70 and received good support from Aarshin Deshmukh who contributed with a useful 34. For Lilavati Hospital, Vijay Nadkar was the pick of the bowlers as he wreaked havoc with the ball scalping 7-17. Nadkar bowled in the right areas on a consistent basis and yielded rich dividends. He ran through the opposition line-up in a jiffy and put his team in a commanding position.

In reply, Lilavati Hospital fought hard as they chased down the target in 37.1 overs, winning the match by two wickets. Darmesh Swami plundered a blistering 51 to lead the run chase from the front. Sandesh Pandere too chipped in with 37 to help his team cross the line against IDBI Sports Club. 

Lilavati Hospital’s star bowler Vijay Nadkar was the top performer with the ball as he picked up 7-17 to guide his team to a two-wicket win against IDBI Sports Club during the MCA Corporate Trophy.
