All-rounder Shashank Singh steers Shivaji Park Warriors to an easy win against Ghatkopar Jets in Mitsui Shoji T20 match
Shivaji Park Warriors amassed a mammoth 206-6 in 20 overs against Ghatkopar Jets on 11th May at Police Gymkhana during the Mitsui Shoji T20 tournament. Akhil Rajput (38 runs off 22 balls) and Shashank Singh (46 runs off 21 balls) provided a solid start to their team’s batting and their opening partnership was instrumental in taking the Warriors to a daunting total. Singh was aggressive right from the start and was striking at a strike rate of over 200. He smacked seven boundaries and a couple of maximums in his wonderful knock. Karan Nande bowled well for his 2-23 in four overs.
Though Karan Nande (44 runs off 30 balls) started off nicely for Ghatkopar Jets, the middle order failed to capitalize on the solid start. Apart from Ashish More (61 not out off 42 balls), rest of the batting order looked listless. The Jets were restricted to 159-8, losing the match by 47 runs. Sagar Mishra, Dhrumil Matkar and Shashank Singh finished off with two wickets each. Shashank Singh (46 runs off 21 balls and 2-34 in 4 overs) was exceptional with both bat and ball and deservingly won the Man of the Match award.
