Nawaz Ali from Sharda University was the highest wicket taker with 3 wickets in the first innings. “My target was to play all 15 overs, and although the pitch gave was a good challenge, I was succesfull in doing that” said Pratyush Thakur.
In the second innings, only four players reached double digit runs with Satyam Yadav scoring 42 runs, the highest from Sharda’s batting order.
The second match of the day took place betweenBennett University and Ashoka University , with Ashoka winning the toss and opting to bat first.
Scoring a total of 103 runs in a 12 over match, the batsmen of Ashoka University had a steady start, with Vatsal Kumar scoring 22 runs, the highest for Ashoka. But to their dismay the partnership of Ashish Mishra and Aryan Pratap of Bennett University scoring 50 and 22 respectively disrupted Ashoka’s flow making them lose the match with a score of 105 with a loss of just 2 wickets and 2 balls to spare.”Has been a while since personally I have scored this many runs, gratefully the target wasn’t that much and we had a good start. All in all it was a team effort” said Ashish Mishra.
