Prabhsimran Singh and India international Dinesh Karthik stole the show on the final day of the league matches of the 17th DY Patil T20 Cup with their batting performances at the DY Patil Sports Complex on Tuesday.
Later in the day, Mehal Wadhera’s 71 and Tilak Verma’s 58 helped Reliance 1 get the better of Jain Irrigation.
CAG’s Prabhsimran Singh slammed a massive 161 off just 55 balls with nine boundaries and 17 sixes as his side beat Income Tax by 115 runs at the University Ground.
In the other game at the Stadium, Dinesh Karthik smoked a brisk 75* off just 38 balls with five boundaries and six sixes as DY Patil Group B beat RBI by 25 runs.
Prabhsimran shared a 117-run opening stand with R Sanjay and then shared crucial partnerships with other batters to power CAG to 267/6 in their 20 overs. Income Tax were never in the chase as they lost wickets at regular intervals to finish at 152/9 in their 20 overs. For CAG the best bowlers were Manu Krishnan (4-25) and J Suchith (3-22).
Karthik is on commentary duty during the Border-Gavaskar series and he got a chance to play the game only because the second India versus Australia Test match finished inside three days — Tuesday would have been the fifth day of the Test. He arrived at a critical stage for DY Patil Group B as they were struggling at 66/3.
After taking some time to find his rhythm, the keeper-batter took off as he smashed the RBI bowlers at will to return unbeaten on 75 off just 38 balls with five boundaries and six sixes. DY Patil Group B finished on 186/6 in their 20 overs. RBI lost wickets at regular intervals to finish on 161/7 in their 20 overs.
In the afternoon game, Jain Irrigation made 169 for six in their 20 overs. Reliance 1 completed the chase in just 14.5 overs thanks to Mehal Wadhera (71 runs off 36b, 7×4, 4×6) and Tilak Verma (58 off 31b, 5×4, 3×6).
