Rowdy Routers thrash Virtela XI by 10 wickets in Netmagic Premier League 2016 match

Nikunj and Akshay of Rowdy Routers single handedly chased down the target of 83 runs set by Virtela XI at Air India ground, Mumbai in the on-going Netmagic Premier League. Early in the day, Virtela posted 82-5 in 10 overs, thanks to a wonderful batting display from opening bat Chetan (36 runs off 26 balls). He was aggressive and was looking good to make a big score but his innings was put to an end by Suraj who clean bowled him. Suraj was the wrecker in chief as he picked up 2-9 in his one over.

Chasing over 8 runs in an over would have been tough, but the opening pair of Nikunj and Akshay set the stage on fire as they helped Rowdy Routers achieve the target in just 7.1 overs, keeping all ten wickets in hand. Nikunj (42 not out off 25 balls) was attacking right from the word go and was well-complimented by Akshay (28 not out off 17 balls), who tried to match Nikunj for his every shot.
