Mr Abhay Kele, CMD, Prithvi Edifice with the Winning Team

Infosys were crowned champions of the 2nd Prithvi Edifice Cup 2016 Inter IT T20 Cricket Championship, at the Nehru Stadium.

In the end analysis, Infosys ended up scoring an 8-wicket win over Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) after successfully chasing the 160-run target with seven balls to spare.

Opting to bat first, TCS rode on the efforts of openers Gaurav Singh and Mayan Jasore, the ‘Best Batsman’ of the tournament. Both were quick during their stay at the crease; Gaurav (77) compiled his innings off 57 balls (8×4, 3×6), while Mayank had his 43 runs made off 27-ball.

Interestingly, Gaurav, adjudged  ‘Best Bowler,’ excelled in a different role and instead ended top scorer of the final day. Both Gaurav-Mayank put on 76-run (53 balls) partnership for the first wicket and laid the foundation of the innings which ended at 180/3 off 20 overs.

Later, Infosys had Sainath Shinde (63 n.o), and Ashay Palkar (60 n.o) take on the responsibility to see their team’s innings through. Joining forces they put on an unbeaten 111-run partnership for the third wicket off just 71 balls.

Sainath paced his innings evenly. His 46-ball essay at the crease had six boundaries and two sixes. Ashay, adjudged ‘Man-Of-The-Series’, was a little quicker and compiled his runs off 34 runs (5×4, 3×6).

Sainath was later adjudged the ‘Man-Of-The-Match’ for his responsible knock.

Infosys’ effort gained a cheque of Rs 50,000, a Trophy and medals for the team. Likewise, runners-up, TCS received Rs 40,000 a trophy and medals.

The prizes were given away by Mr Abhay Kele, CMD, Prithvi Edifice
