December 17, 2015

Mangaluru, Dec 17: A fierce competition among the top order batsmen of Ocean Sharks to cruelly punish the bowlers of Bajpe Jaguars ultimately resulted in a massive victory for formers on the fourth day of Amaco Mangalore Premiere League 2015.

Powered by a strong opening partnership of 78 runs off eight overs between Naushad (41) and Ashweer (28) and a terrific innings of pinch hitter Sadiq (61) followed by Suhail’s attractive 47 the Ocean Sharks scored 222 in allotted 20 overs.

Experienced batsman Sadiq who recorded half century off just 20 balls mercilessly hammered 61 runs with five authoritative sixes and four powerful boundaries.

The batsmen of Jaguars, who failed to fight back, could score mere 143 losing eight wickets in one sided match. On the other hand, the Ocean Sharks’ bowlers too turned deadly for Jaguars. Apart from Muthalif (38) and Sachin (34) all the key players of Jaguars were found struggling to face the bowlers.

While Sharks registered a second consecutive victory of 79 runs, the Jaguars conceded second consecutive defeat in the twenty-20 tournament.
