Viraj Gamare’s 35ball 74 carnage at Parsee Gymkhana helps Worli Sports Club win in the 68th Salar Jung Tournament
It was the all important match between Worli Sports Club & Muslim united C.C of the Salar Jung Tournament. Muslim United CC won the toss & elected to field first with an aim of putting the opposition under pressure.
It was a shaky start as their opener Sandesh was out for 6 but their other opener Viraj Gamare scored a brutal 74 off just 35 balls. Viraj smashed the bowlers like a man on mission and hardly spared any bowlers who came in his way. Viraj played with complete authority as he smashed as many as 9fours & 4 big sixes to enthrall his team mates and the spectators alike. Manoj Yadav at the middle order also chipped in with a quick 32 which pushed the team total to 210/8 in 20overs. Almost every bowler got smashed but Sajid Pathan was the pick of the bowlers taking 3/22 in 3 overs.
Chasing 211, it was a wonderful tough fight given by the Muslim United C.C as they lost by a mere 11 runs. They managed to reach as much as 199 in the 2nd innings & the match remained exciting till the very end. The middle order chipped in with 30’s and 40’s & it was a really good batting perfomance by the Muslim United boys. R.sheikh & D Patel were the pick of the bowlers taking 2wkts each.
Worli Sports Club won the match by 11 runs & opener Viraj Gamare was declared ‘man of the match’ for his superb batting. Cricketgraph congratulates Viraj & the whole team for their great win and wishes them to keep playing good brand of cricket in the coming matches too.
