Chauhan guides Rizvi Springfield to facile win

Ayush Atri,who top-scored for the Kanpur outfit with 50,and Aman Yadav with 39 did put up some resistance against Rizvi’s disciplined bowling. But it wasn’t good enough with Alpesh Ramjani starring for the home team with the ball,ending up with figures of 4/36.

The target hardly proved a challenge for the strong Rizvi batting line-up as they raced towards their target with over six overs to spare. Manjrekar led the way with a 71-ball 63,a knock which included seven hits to the fence and one over it. Chauhan was compartively more subdued in his approach but still played a crucial part with 60 off 90 balls during which he actually cleared the fence on a couple of occasions. He even won the man-of-the-match award for his efforts.

Brief Scores: KDMA (Kanpur) 204 all out in 43.5 overs (Ayush Atri 50,Aman Yadav 39; Alpesh Ramjani 4/36) lost to Rizvi Springfield (Mumbai) 205 for 6 wkts in 43.4 overs (Pratik Manjrekar 63,Yash Chauhan 62,Sarfarz Khan 32) by four wickets.
