The 10 th match of the Desserts n More Sarsangan Super Series Cricket 2024
was played between MLT PDK Kings and Estilo Legends. Electing to bat first,
MLT PDK Kings were made to rue their decision, as the Estilo Legends pegged
them to 26-4, thanks to an electrifying opening spell from Siddesh Prabhu
Alvenkar who picked a wicket each in his 1 st three overs. However Ved
Mahambrey smashed 51 (28 balls, 8 x 4s, 1 x 6s) and in the company of
Pratham Kossambe 34 (31 balls, 3 x 4s), the two left handers put on 78 runs in
43 balls to get the Kings back into the match.
Just when the Kings were gaining momentum, the skipper of the Estilo legends,
Dr. Sagar Salgaocar picked 2 wickets in 2 overs to halt the run flow as the Kings
slid to 139-7 in the 16 th over. A late flourish by the Kings skipper Gaurav
Gaitonde 30 not out (19 balls, 1 x 4s, 2 x 6s) and Mihir Gaitonde 18 not out and
their unbeaten 45 run stand for the 8 th wicket helped the Kings to post 184/7 in
20 overs. The successful bowlers for the Legends were Siddesh Prabhu
Alvenkar 3-28, Dr. Sagar Salgaocar 2-17 and Kauntey Shenvi 1-27
Needing 185 to win, Estilo Legends had a disastrous start to the run chase,
losing both the openers, Sachin Sardesai 7 and Siddhesh Bodke 5 as the score
read 20-2 in the 3 rd over. A comforting 77 run partnership between Raunak
Nargundker 40 (6 x 4s) and Dr. Sagar Salgaocar 44 (5 x 4s) kept the Legends in
the hunt as they reached 97-3 in the 13 th over.
Surviving a close run out, courtesy the 3 rd Umpire DRS call, Siddesh Prabhu
Alvenkar blasted 42 (21 balls, 4 x 4s, 2 x 6s), giving the MLT PDK Kings think
tank some anxious moments, bringing the target down to just 15 runs.
However the rest of the batters catapulted under the ever increasing run rate,
as Mihir Gaitonde rose to the occasion picking 2 wickets in the final over to
finish with dream figures of 3-0-15-3.
Estilo Legends finished at 174/8 in 20 overs, giving a nail biting 10 run win to
the MLT PDK Kings. Animesh Prabhugaonkar, Viraj Puranik, Ved Mahambrey
and Mehank Dharwadkar picked a wicket each
Ved Mahambrey was awarded the Desserts n More Man of the Match medal
