BBC Bulldoze Friends CC in High-Scoring Thriller
LSKCM T20 Trophy: BBC vs Friends Cricket Club. Player of the Match: Akshu 100(42) & 1 wickets
In a clash packed with power-hitting and dramatic momentum shifts, BBC outclassed Friends Cricket Club by 37 runs, thanks to a sensational century from Akshu and a jaw-dropping 5-wicket haul from Akshay Sain. With both bat and ball firing, BBC’s all-round dominance left Friends CC chasing shadows despite some late heroics.
BBC were off to a shaky start as Anivesh Choudhary fell for just 1 run. But the innings soon found its spark as Yuvraj Singh Tomar and Rituraj Sharma stitched together a quick partnership, scoring 33 off 19 and 21 off 14 respectively.
However, it was Akshu who completely changed the game. Blasting his way to an unbelievable 100 off just 42 balls, featuring 6 fours and 10 towering sixes, Akshu tore into every bowler and sent the run rate skyrocketing. Cameos from Yuvraj Singh Nagar (15 off 7) and Divyansh Rajput (11 off 7) added further fuel to the fire as BBC posted a massive 218 in 19.5 overs.
Chasing a stiff target, Friends CC had a decent start with Saurabh Dagar (14 off 13) and Harshit Sethi, who anchored the innings with a brilliant 54 off 31 balls. But the real entertainment came from Shubham Bhat, who smashed a lightning-fast 56 off just 28 balls*, including 4 fours and 4 sixes, keeping his team alive in the hunt.
However, their momentum was halted by Akshay Sain, who turned the match on its head with a game-changing spell of 4-0-13-5. He dismantled the middle order with precision and pace. The rest of the batting lineup fell apart despite a few lusty hits from Yashjeet (11 off 10) and Dev Kashyap (7 off 3).
Friends CC managed to score 181/9 in 20 overs, falling 37 runs short of the target.
