JAMMU, Aug 27: A T-20 Cricket Match was organized between KV Masters led by Samendar Rathore and Tawi Veterans Cricket Club led by Vicky at KV2 School ground.
Tawi veterans won the toss and chose to bowl first. The decision proved correct as KV Masters lost opener Naresh Kumar early. The quality swing bowling of Ashok Kumar and Kannu (1 wicket) contained the runs, but a handy partnership of 112 runs between Navjot Singh (61 runs) and Skipper Samendar Rathore (50 runs) got KV Masters back in the game. A late quick fire by Manjeet (25* runs) helped KV Masters to 169/3 in stipulated 20 overs. For Tawi Veterans Sanju Gupta and Sham Bakshi (1 wicket each) were the other wicket takers.
In reply, Tawi Veterans were given a flying start by Sanju Gupta (46 runs) and Varun (50 runs) taking advantage of the power play. As the field spread, two quick wickets by Naresh Kumar and Brij Mohan (1 wicket each) stopped the flow of Tawi Veterans. The spin trio of Navjot Singh (3 wickets), Sikander Oberoi (2 wickets) and Sachin Kumar (1) wicket) kept picking up regular wickets supported by good fielding by team with two diving catches by Sunny Kotwal kept the runs under control. Pankaj (38 runs) was the other major contributor for Tawi Veterans as they managed only 162/8 and lost the match by 7 runs. Navjot Singh was declared player of the match for his all round performance.
