Here’s a look at the match reports:
ICCT Smashers vs Chiayi Swingers, Pool 02, Qualifier 01 Match Report
The first Qualifier of Pool 02 of the 2020 Taipei T10 League turned out to be a pretty one-sided encounter as Chiayi Swingers scripted a commanding five-wicket-win over ICCT Smashers.
Batting first, ICCT Smashers line-up never really got going as none of their batsmen barring Rajesh Mehta [17 off 13 balls] could notch up a double-digit score. Pruthvi More was the pick of the bowlers for the Chiayi Swingers as he finished with figures of 3-7 in his spell of 2 overs.
The likes of Yogesh Rajput [2-14], Jeevan Galdar [1-8], and Devesh Barshillia [1-8] played a brilliant supporting role to More as they claimed a total of five wickets between them.
Chasing 56 to win, the Chiayi Swingers got off to a solid start with Nitish Nair [18 off 19 balls] and Sidhesh Pilankar [16 off 15 balls] putting up a solid 38-run-stand for the opening wicket. But the dismissal of Pilankar caused a mini-collapse as Swingers lost five wickets within a space of three runs courtesy Neel Bhimani [3-10] and Nirav Shah [1-7]. But once again Pruthvi More [8*] came to Swingers rescue as he, along with Deepak Mishra [8*] steered their side to a five-wicket win.
