ECDG seniors win all India title
The senior team of Emerging Cricketers Development Group (ECDG) pipped them all to emerge triumphant in the Inter-State Emerging T20 cricket tournament in New Delhi on Saturday.
Hyderabad: The senior team of Emerging Cricketers Development Group (ECDG) pipped them all to emerge triumphant in the Inter-State Emerging T20 cricket tournament in New Delhi on Saturday. Meanwhile, the outfit fielded by the Hyderabad-based ECDG finished second in the junior category of the same tournament.
The senior summit clash was lopsided from the first ball. Making their intentions clear while batting first, the Hyderabad team, inspired by a rollicking 80 by Asif Basha, made a mockery of the Dinesh Verma Cricket Foundation attacking while posting an imposing 180 for the loss of seven wickets. Rakhel Bari chip din with a useful 30.
ECDG bowlers followed suit and dismissed the opponents for a meagre 57 to gain a massive 123-run win and hold aloft the trophy. Meanwhile, the colts, despite a swashbuckling unbeaten 86 by MD Aizaz lost to St Lawrence Cricket Academy (SLCA) by four wickets in a high-scoring final. Tilting the scales in favour of the opponent was an unbeaten 80 from the blade of Sanchi. Later, senior coach of SLCA Vinod distributed the prizes.
Brief scores: Finals-Seniors: ECDG 180 for seven wickets (Asif Basha 80, Rakhel Bari 30) bt Dinesh Verma Cricket Foundation 57 in 13.1 overs (Haram 2/10, Anil Kumar 3/5, Charan 2/1); Juniors: ECDG 176 for eight wickets (MD Aijaz 86no, Gaurav 2/30, Gazi 2/25) lost to St Lawrence Cricket Academy 178 for six in 16.5 overs (Sanchit 80no, Syed Yaseen 2/6, Akshay 2/18).
