Diwali T20 cricket thrills

Another weekend of exciting cricket was witnessed at the Achimota Cricket Oval in the third round of the Indian Association-organised Diwali T20 cricket tournament.

Three games were honoured in all, which saw Supermax playing against IMPC in the first encounter. 

After losing two games in a row, experienced all-rounder Mr Saiyed Juned inspired Supermax to beat IMPC convincingly by 6 wickets. Mr Saiyed Juned of Chemietech L.L.C was declared man-of-the-match.

Defending champions Bel Aqua took on All Rounders in this third round duel in which runs were hard to come by due to the playing conditions and ground.

All Rounders made 77 runs and were all out in 19.4 overs, Bel Aqua also took 19.3 overs to make 78runs, winning by six wickets and maintaining their position on top of the ladder.

The captain of Bel Aqua, Mr Deepu Thadani of Cheaphouse Stores, was once again declared man-of-the-match for his all-round performance with bat and ball taking 4 wickets.

In the third and final match of the day, Balaji Group of Companies (BGC) thrashed FORCE 11 by 10 wickets. The feat chalked up by BGC was to atone for losing to All Rounders unexpectedly last weekend.

BGC’S batsmen Mr Mouly and Mr Amoulukh showed their batting skills and made the target of 79 runs posted by Force 11 in 7.1 overs.

The performance from BGC reaffirmed them as the favourites of the tournament as Mr Amoulukh was declared man-of-the-match.

The fourth round of the tournament will take place on Sunday.
