On Saturday, Osian Cricket Club locked horns against Malabar Hill Club during the GDCL at PJ Hindu Gymkhana, Mumbai. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Osian Cricket Club put up a mammoth 215-5 in 20 overs, courtesy 122 run opening partnership between Vishal Shah (73 off 46) and Kamran Ahmad (57 off 36). Ankit Zaveri (27 off 12) and Ankit Chopra (25 off 11) played couple of good cameos at the end to take the total over 200. With the ball, Manan Shah and Brijesh Ved accounted for two wickets each, with Amit Photographer scalping one wicket.

Chasing a daunting total of 216 was always going to be difficult and it did no good to Malabar Hill Club as they lost their first wicket on the fourth ball. Krish Jogani (17 off 13) and Vineet Dujodhwal (22 off 27) looked to consolidate and received good support from Sandeep Chatwani (30 off 24) and Manan Shah (20 off 16). However the team fell short of 64 runs as they were dwindled down for 151-7 in 20 overs. Nirav Bheda and Jignesh Thakker picked up two wickets each with Vishal Shah scalping one wicket.

Osian Cricket Club’s Vishal Shah won the Man of the Match for his brilliant all-round performance.
