Played at Harjare Sports Club in Pune, it was one batter who stole the show in the 2nd innings with his flamboyant batting. SKS Eleven after being put to bat first managed to post a very healthy total of 205/6 in 20 overs with opener Kamal Panchal top scoring 72 runs off 46 balls.
Chasing 200+ in a T20 on any given day is challenging and odds are certainly in favor of the defending team but United XI’s opener owned the day as he went all guns blazing to score a match winning century. Nikhil Jain took the game away from the opposition as he went to score a stunning 146* off 71 balls which included 20 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of close to 206.00. Nikhil lacked support from the other end but ensured to take his team towards the victory line in the penultimate final over with just a ball to spare.
United XI won the match by 4 wkts and Nikhil Jain was declared ‘man of the match’
