Zain gets a hatrick!

Vijayta won the toss and elected to field first. Hollywood 1 openers Thilan and Divyesh provided a decent start till Thilan went for a big one and got caught. The first wicket fell at the score of 23 then Divyesh got out on the next ball from Zain. It was a hatrick ball for Zain after claiming wickets of Thilan and Divyesh, Mandip tried to sweep the hatrick ball and got bowled. Zain claimed the hatrick. Hollywood was struggling at the score of 23 for 3 , the things became more worse when Aditya, Nikhil and Ritesh got out cheaply to Hammad and were struggling for 50 for 6 at first drinks break. Ankit and Basit got together and played cautiously with a plan to play out as many overs as possible without losing any further wickets. The plan worked and runs started coming once the bowlers became frustrated. Ankit and Basit put on 90 plus partnership when Ankit got out. At this stage, Hollywood was 150 for 7, the debutant Rishabh Nanda walked in to join Basit who started hitting the ball very well. Rishabh and Basit went onto assault the Vijayta's bowling and put on a great show by putting 66 runs partnership in no time. Hollywood was now in good shape at 213 for 8 in 41 overs. Basit played well and scored 80 in 86 balls. Rishabh didn't stopped his assault on Vijayta bowlers and was smacking at will and helped reach Hollywood to a respectable total of 260. Rishabh stayed unbeaten on 69 in 30 balls. In reply, Vijayta started well and put on 100 runs but lost 4 wickets in doing so in 14 overs thanks to Tarun's quickfire 52 in 32 balls. Mehul Dave and Mrunal Patel were steadying the innings when Mehul gave away his wicket trying to play some extra shots and got out on 61. Vijayta's hope was depleted with Mehuls' wicket and they were 160 for 5 in 26 overs. It was upto Mrunal and rest of the tail to get those another 100 runs. However, defiant hollywood bowlers didn't took any breather and wrapped Vijayta's innings for 228 runs. Pick of bowlers for Hollywood were Anup Desai with 3 wickets, Basit,Aditya,& Nikhil sharing 2 wickets each. Hollywood won by 32 runs and it was a hard fought win. Good Luck to Vijayta for the rest of the season.
