Route Mobile and Automotive locked horns against each other on Saturday at MIG, Mumbai during the final of Automotive Cricket League. Batting first, Route Mobile posted a mammoth 199-6 in 20 overs, courtesy Karan Nandey’s heroic performance. Coming in at no.3, Karan smashed 85 off just 45 balls, including 14 boundaries and two sixes. Automotive’s bowlers had a tough day at work as they were unable to stop the swashbuckling batsman. Raunaq Sharma (22) and Adeeb Usmani (28) were the other two batsmen who contributed to the big tally. With the ball, Ashish Kannojiya was the highest wicket-taker as he scalped 3-42 in his four overs.

Chasing 10 runs per over was always going to be difficult. Automotive did no good for themselves as they lost the opening pair inside four overs. Manesh Bhogle (26) and Azhar Ansari (27 not out) looked to provide some stability however they received no support from the rest of the batting line up. Automotive was restricted to a paltry 125-8 in 20 overs, falling short of 74 runs. Aditya Rane was the star performer with the ball as he wrecked havoc with his 4-29 in his four overs. Rahul Sawant, Vishwajeet Thakur, and Ankush Jaiswal accounted for one dismissal each.

Route Mobile convincingly won the final of Automotive Cricket League 2018-19 by 74 runs.Right hand batsman Karan Nandey of Route Mobile was presented with the Man of the Match award for his blistering performance with the bat.
