Suraj Singh sings victory song for VFCL against Highflyers to win the FPL
VFCL locked horns against Highflyers in the final match of Friends Premier League (FPL) on 6th March at Yashwant Nagar ground, Mumbai. FPL was a grand success and lasted for over three months, starting from November 2015. Bhadresh Gandhi, the chairman of the tournament played a pivotal role in making this tournament a big hit.
Batting first, Highflyers had a disappointing outing as they were bundled out for a paltry 123 in 19.5 overs. Suraj and Pratik were exceptional as they rattled the Highflyers batting line up by picking up three wickets apiece. Suraj shined as he gave away just 21 runs in his four overs getting rid of three batsmen. He was accurate and consistent with his line and length. Chirag also chipped in with a couple of wickets.
Chasing 124 runs of a final would have been tricky but VFCL played some matured cricket to clinch the FPL championship. Mitul (27) and Aman (33*) stitched a solid 32-run opening partnership and helped the other batsmen to capitalize on this powerful start. Arsalam top scored with 37 runs, with Praful contributing an unbeaten 16 with the willow.
It was a comprehensive win for the VFCL as they achieved the target in just 15.2 overs, keeping eight wickets in hand. Suraj Singh was declared as the Man of the Match for his brilliant bowling efforts.
