Tata SC’s Big 3 dominate with the bat while Dhumal’s 11 wkt haul dwarfs Space CC in the Times Shield’19
Tata Sports Club opting to bat first ensured it remained a batting feast for them as Tata SC’s most reliable warhorses Kaustub Pawar, Praful Waghela and Chirag Khurrana smashed sizzling tons. Tata Sports Club declared their innings at 476/7 in 98.5 overs where in Praful Waghela top scored with a swashbuckling 141 in just 140 balls which had 15 boundaries & a six to his name. On the other hand, Kaustubh Pawar smashed a rock solid 130 off 223 balls laced with 20 boundaries. That was not all as Chirag Khurana was equally impressive in his elegant looking 105 off 144 balls (14 boundaries). Not only did their innings witnessed some big partnerships but it was also proper red ball cricket on display by these three as they smashed some splendid shots while equally displayed their solid defense vs the Space CC bowlers. From the bowlers, Rushikesh Jadhav with 3/106 was the pick of the lot for Space CC.
In reply, Space CC were bundled out for 82 runs in 36.1 overs thanks to a brilliant spell of left arm spin by Aditya Dhumal. Aditya came up with 4/18 while he was nicely supported by Siddarth Raut & Rohit Yadav who came up with 2 wkts a piece. Receiving a follow on, Space CC did manage to better their 1st innings efforts but still that did not prove to be enough as they were all out for 198 runs in 76.3 overs.
Shivam Dubey fought hard for his gritty 77 while it was Dhumal again running through the batting line up of Space CC with 7/66. The 25yr old who is currently the part of the Mumbai team’s setup has certainly stamped his presence with a match winning performance as Tata Sports Club won the match by an innings and 196 runs.
