Senayan CC, last season’s Champions Cup winners took on the strong WPP India XI in a much-anticipated T20 clash on Sunday. WPP India XI would have been very pleased when they got the dangerous Viraj Bhammar out early. The bowlers also chipped away with wickets and Senayan were 90 for 4 in the 14th over. The next 3 overs changed the tide of the game as the classy Faisal Hashmi & Rakesh Gowda tore in to the WPP bowling to add 53 runs in just 3 overs. Dhiraj Nagpal struck back with a fine spell including 3 wickets in the last over to restrict Senayan CC to a competitive 177 runs.
In reply, the WPP India XI batsmen kept up with the high required run rate, but lost way too many wickets in the process. Despite a fighting partnership by Santosh Kumar & Abdul Wasy, too much was needed in the last 5 overs. Gaurang Kapadia, once again showed his new-found batting touch, but he had too much to do in the end.
