Great show by Shinrai Toyota helps them win the RCF Corporate T20 Title after a thrilling low-scoring finals
After both the teams giving promising performance in their respective semi- finals, Central Railway & Shinrai Toyota faced each other for the all important finals at the RCF Ground, Chembur, Mumbai. Central Railways elected to bat first after winning the toss to put Toyota under pressure.
Central Railways did not live up to their own expectations as they managed to score only 133/9 in 20 overs. The only shining grace in their batting line up was Pravin Deshetti who scored a solid 46 off just 44 balls at the top of the order. Opening the innings, Pravin looked confident against the bowlers. Once again the trio of left-arm spinners did the job with Jayshal Wadiyal being the pick of the bowlers taking 3/28 to reduce them to a low total. Left-arm spinner Manish Bhogale also bowled well taking 2/2 followed by 2/18 by Rakesh Yadav. Jayshal continued his good form from the semi-finals where he had taken crucial wickets & again performed when it was needed.
Chasing 134, Central Railways gave a tough fight and it was worth the match to watch for as Toyota won the match but not before they lost 7 wkts & just 2 balls to spare. The match remained exciting till the last ball & it held our nerves till the end. Opener Dinesh Pawar once again gave a confident start at the top of the innings scoring 27 followed by 26 & 21 for Manish & Sajid Khan.
Team Shinrai Toyota won the tournament & Dinesh Pawar from Shinrai Toyota was adjudged ‘man of the match’ and ‘Best Fielder of the tournament’ for his brilliant batting and fielding, while Amit Ponikar from Central Railway’s team was adjudged the best batsman & left arm spinner Jayshal Wadiyal from Shinrai Toyota Team (10 wkts) awarded the best bowler of the tournament and Manish Bhogale from Shinrai Toyota Team awarded Man of the Series in the Tournament.
