Imphal, July 09 2018:
Model Club easily chased down KSDO's target of 37 runs without losing a single wicket riding on Bijoykumar 4-wicket haul and a brisk 25 runs off 8 balls not out from Abhishek Dewan which was ably supported by unbeaten Tejkumar's 8 runs off 3 balls in the 2nd MCA Luwangpokpa T-20 Cricket tournament being organised under the aegis of Manipur Cricket Association at Luwangpokpa Cricket Stadium, Luwangsangbam.
With this win Model Club advanced into the knock-out stage along with TRAU from Group D.Electing to bat first, KSDO had a disastrous start as their batsmen failed to withstand the fierce attacks of Model Club's bowlers Bijoykumar in particular who was instrumental in destroying the batting line up of KSDO.
Bishorjit too joined the forces with his 3 wickets haul while Shubam dismissed one (1) wicket in his name.
The batting combination of Amir Khan (8 runs of 8 balls) and Abdul Razak (7 runs of 11 balls) help KSDO to post a paltry 36/10 in 10.4 overs.
Model Club did not have to sweat much as the openers Abhishek and Tejkumar had easily chased the target in 2 overs.
Bijaykumar was declared as the man of the match for his 4 wickets haul.
