Jitesh Purabia of Airtel bats out Eclerx in Dreamz T20 match
Eclerx was restricted to a humble 126-8 in 20 overs against Airtel on 9th April at Oval, Mumbai during the Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament match. Winning the toss and electing to bat first, Eclerx would have liked to post a better total on board but the Airtel bowlers were too good to handle for them. Ravi, Sanjeev and Daiwat picked up couple of wickets apiece and bowled economical spells, not allowing the batsmen to score freely off them. Siddesh top scored with an unbeaten knock of 30 runs coming off just 26 balls.
In reply, the opening pair of Jitesh Purabia (89 not out off 48 balls) and Daiwat (32 not out off 39 balls) played exceedingly well to take Airtel home. They chased down the target in just 14.2 overs, winning the match comprehensively by 10 wickets. Purabia was the major contributor in the partnership scoring at a brisk rate of over 150. He attacked the ball right from the word go and was in no mood to let loose until the target was achieved. Daiwat also contributed quietly to the partnership and ran well between the wickets with Jitesh. The Eclerx bowlers were smacked all-round the park and went wicket-less.
Jitesh Purabia (89 not out off 48 balls) was bestowed with the Man of the Match award for his match winning batting knock.
