Lijo Williams of Walt Disney strikes a fifer to rattle Yes Bank in the Plate Group semi-final of Dreamz T20 Tournament
Yes Bank faced Walt Disney on 27th Feb at National Cricket Club, Mumbai during the Plate Group semi-final of Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament. Batting first, Yes Bank was bundled out for a modest 108 in 17.1 overs, thanks to some brilliant bowling by Lijo Williams. Lijo finished off with envious figures of 5-23 in 3.1 overs. His five wicket haul was the standout performance of the day. He was disciplined in his line and length and rattled the Yes Bank batting order. Ritesh top scored with 42 runs, but his efforts went in vain as none of the other batsmen could contribute much with the willow.
What was supposed to be an easy run chase turned to be a nail biting finish. Walt Disney chased down the target in 19.5 overs, keeping just the one wicket in hand. Siddharth (29) and Shubendu (28*) saw their team home as there was a sudden batting collapse. Vaibhav was the wrecker-in-chief as he accounted for 4-17 in his four overs. He asked several questions to which they had no answers. It was a cracker of a contest and Walt Disney was fortunate to get the better off it as they make their way to the Plate Group finals of Dreamz T20 Cricket Tournament.
Lijo Williams (5-23 in 3.1 overs) was declared as the Man of the Match for his fantastic bowling display.
