India’s T20 World Cup winning duo Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube destroyed Services with blistering knocks for Mumbai in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Thanks to their fantastic partnership, Mumbai would go on to post a mammoth total of 192/4, which proved to be too much for Services, who fell 39 runs short.
After losing the likes of Prithvi Shaw, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer cheaply, the duo of Suryakumar and Dube pummeled the Services bowling attack to carry Mumbai to the huge total. The former got dismissed after playing a fine knock of 70 off 46 deliveries which included 7 boundaries and 4 sixes. On the other hand, Dube remained unbeaten on 71 off just 37 deliveries. The knock included 2 boundaries and 7 humongous sixes.
In reply, Services never really got going and at one point even got reduced to 34/4. Skipper Mohit Ahlawat’s 54 did restore some faith but the other batters weren’t able to deliver as Mumbai bowled them out for 153 runs in 19.3 overs.
Shardul Thakur was the star performer for Mumbai in the bowling department, picking up 4 wickets for 25 runs and Shams Mulani also finished with decent figures of 3/40.
