Commentary

The inevitable has happened! Maharashtra were clinical in their approach and gave no opening to Punjab bowlers. Ruturaj Gaikwad the top scorer was the protagonist of a risk-free, sensible and dominating chase by Maharashtra. He was given excellent support initially from Naushad Shaikh and then from Azim Kazi. The chase didn't start on a pleasant note for Maharashtra as Yash Nahar departed for a duck but that was a mere aberration by them.

The Punjab bowlers did not bowl particularly well. They bowled short, wide, giving batsmen too much room to score off. The field placements were quite defensive since the end of powerplay allowing Ruturaj & Co to pick easy singles and occasionally doubles. Sanvir Singh and Abhishek Sharma bowled well but the lack of runs to play with didn’t allow them to bowl more aggressively as that sometimes backfires. Mayank Markande was targeted by Ruturaj Gaikwad which hampered Mayank’s confidence giving away more runs in his second over.

The importance of partnerships in our game doesn’t fade away with different formats. Because a team game would require you to play collectively and it makes the job easier. Gurkeerat Singh Mann couldn't get the support Gaikwad got and we could see the difference of that today.

Maharashtra beat Punjab by 7 wickets with 5 balls to spare.

So that is it from this encounter between Punjab and Maharashtra in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2021. We hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is me Anavit Naik with my expert co-commentator Karthik Raj signing off. Take care!

17.3 Arshdeep Singh to Azim Kazi, full delivery, Azim drives it to mid-off for a quick single. This seals a comfortable seven-wicket victory with 15 balls to spare!
